What is a Thriller?


 a genre of literature, film and television programming.

Thrillers normally provoke emotions from the audience of fear, exhilaration and excitement.

“Thrillers heavily stimulate the viewer’s moods, giving them a high level of anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, surprise, anxiety and terror.” –Wikipedia

Thrillers generally have sub genres for example;


  • Crime thrillers – such as Seven (1995)



  • Comedy thrillers – Mr and Mrs Smith (2005)

 










  • Psychological thrillers – Shutter Island (2010)

 



  • Supernatural thrillers – The Skeleton Key (2005)








And many more!

This may mean that sometimes genre’s overlap, for example The Expendables movie is an action, adventure and thriller.  However, a thriller provides a sudden rush of emotions that tends to shock and alert the audience.


A thriller movie, no matter what subgenre it is, will always emphasise the danger the actors face and create a tense atmosphere for that reason!
