Types of thrillers

Thriller types (sub-genres)

Action thrillers: An action thriller will largely consist of, as the name suggests, action scenes. these will usually involve one main 'good' character fighting a main villain in the film. They sometimes contain a plot that involves a limited time to complete their mission.

Crime thrillers: A crime thriller is slightly different to your average thriller becuase most of the time, these are from the criminals point of view instead of the hero's. These types of thriller's are often based around mafia orginisations or murders, etc.

Disaster Thrillers: This type of thriller is fairly self-explanatory, it involves a major natural disaster affecting the main characters and their race for survival. The main characters are usually depicted to be the average person, giving a more realistic feel for the audience.

Drama Thrillers: These types of thriller are usually slow paced compared to other thriller types, and they often have more in-depth storylines and reveal more of a backstory to the plot.

Horror Thrillers: This type of thriller will contain more gory events and explore the emotion of fear. They are usually over the top when trying to scare an audience but are still effective in doing so.

Psychological Thrillers: These thrillers can be scary and clever depending on the plot. They might focus on a persons mind going mad and a mysterious plotline.

Supernatural Thrillers: These thrillers are fairly self-explanatory, they will mainly involve a main human character who is fighting against something supernatural.
