Coming up with a name for my film

I'm in the process of deciding what I'm going to name my film, in order to do this I'm going to have a look at existing films in the psychological thriller genre to see if there is any reoccurring pattern.

1. Misery









2. Panic Room







3. Cape Fear 







4. Memento 






5. Stoker 






6. Black Swan


 


7. Nocturnal Animals 






8. In the Cut






9. Identity 






10. Wait Until Dark 






11. Copy Cat






12. Mr Brooks









13. Anamorph 






14. The Game






15. American psycho





16. Basic instinct







17.  The Circle





18. Fractured 





19. Glass





20. Cam








21. Split






22. Gone girl









23. Flatliners





24. Buried




25.  'Til death do us part






One thing I've noticed about the films is that they often reference something being 'broken' or 'destroyed', such as the movies, 'Fractured' or 'Split' - this could relate to the human mind being broken. Frequently the titles make reference to negative emotions or the idea of being frightened, such as 'Misery', 'Panic Room' and 'Cape Fear'. These titles generally allude to death using words such as 'Buried', 'Flatliners' and 'Gone Girl'. The titles of the films are usually quite short, one or maybe two words e.g 'Stoker', 'Identity' and 'The Game'.

I'm going to take these things into consideration when choosing the name for my film.
