One of the ways by which they have represented the thriller genre, through various conventions is denoted through the use of editing when they use cross cutting in order to establish a relationship between the characters, as well as conveying the emotion of suspense and tension. Furthermore it incorporates an enigma code to establish a sense of mystery, while allowing the audience to wonder their significance within the film. Both characters are contrasting due to the fact that while the male begins the cross cut representing him as seeming power dominant, which s evident through mise en scene; this is denoted through his space, because he's naked, and is showering makes him more vulnerable in comparison to the female who's fully clothed.
Another aspect of this short sequencce is their porfesionally done titles, which not only are what is expected from a hollywood movie but also represents the thriller genre; this is denoted thorugh the dark backround against the "Lionsgate" trademark sign. While this doesn't posses mch significance towards the film it still introduces it in an asthetically pleasing way.
Another aspect of this thriler sequence is represented through the sediting, due to the slow yet steady pace of the dequence we're unable to anticipate what to aspect, which therefore builds up both tension and suspense. In additon the female characters slow moving pace is in contrast with the faster pace of the guy in the shower (despite his lack of movement)
Another aspect of this thriller sequence, which in my opinion is a key element is the sound becuase it provides such emphasis to the death sequence, due to the added effects of the booming sound at each lunge the female charcacter takes. In addition the continous echoing sound contrasts with the booming, making it stand out and more emotinally impacting.
