Thrillers of modern times are able to depend on incredible stunts and high budget special effects. 20 years ago they had to depend on the more technical side of what makes a genre, in this case a thriller.
The protagonist of this film, Vertigo, is a stereotypical thriller protagonist, he has a weakness and is placed in a life or death situation. This is typical of thrillers as it creates suspense for the audience who will have warmed to the character.
There is suspense music, that helps promote the thriller genre. It is also the style of the time the film was made, with string instruments and high pitched melodies in comparison to the modern day style of loud drums and whatever else.
There is also a socially unaccepted character, whom the protagonist is interested in. This for a thriller is common, because it can make the audience relate to that character in some ways and single them out as more surreal than the rest of the cast.
There is also the common use of enigmas in the film, as explained in the trailer, the protagonist and the girl are drawn together for reasons unexplained and so they are out there to find out why.
