Thriller Genre Research

Thriller Genre Research

Thrillers are a genre of film or television programming that uses suspense tension and excitement as its main three elements. A thriller that met all the conventions of thrillers would be one that kept the audience on the edge of their seats. However thrillers can have many sub genres or catagories that are still classed as thrillers these are

· Crime thriller – Is an account of a successful or failed crime. E.g . Pulp Fiction

· Supernatural Thriller – the film brings another worldly element mixed with plot twists, suspense and tension. E.g The sixth sense.

· Psychological thriller – when the conflict between main characters is more mental and emotional rather than physical. E.g the silence of the Lambs.

· Political Thriller – When a hero must survive to ensure he stability with the government that employs him. E.g. Enemy of the State.

· Conspiracy Thriller – When a hero confronts a large group of enemies who only he or she realizes their true extent. E.g. Angels and Demons.

· Rape and Revenge thriller – An exploitation that focuses more on thriller elements. E.g. The last house on the left.
