The logo for DreamWorks uses bold, white font on a dark background of clouds. Due to the colour contrast of the background and font, the writing stands out a lot more to the audience. Examples of past and future releases of the thriller genre include 'What Lies Beneath' (2000) which is an American supernatural horror-thriller film. It stars a couple who experience a strange haunting that uncovers secrets about their past. 'I Am Number Four' (2011) has a action as the sub-genre. It is about a man who is a fugitive on the run from ruthless enemies sent to destroy him.
