The use of mythology in thriller cinema as an object of the uncanny

Uncanny is defined as intellectual uncertainty in Jentsch's study and anxiety created by the castration complex in Freud's study. Uncanny also reflects the animist view of the world, which can be explained by the concepts of the co-self, the belief in the other world, and the spirit. Mythology, on the other hand, is the result of the existential sense of uncanny that primitive people living in ancient times felt in the face of nature. Myths are uncanny narratives produced by man in the face of uncanny nature. The man who was expelled from heaven produced mythological narratives in order to make sense of the nature he was in and to establish the cause-effect relationship of the events. These narratives reflect the animist view of the world, which finds meaning in the narrative of the omnipotence of thought as in the uncanny. Uncanny is also the dominant convention of thriller cinema. Myths are also included as an uncanny element in thriller films that take their subject directly from myths. In this study, how mythology is used as an uncanny element in thriller films was examined with hermeneutics and semiotic method, and the place of cinematographic mythology in thriller cinema was determined.
