Thriller sub-Genres that inspire me at the moment

• Government thrillers


• psychological thrillers


• super natural thrillers


• Good vs. evil thrillers

Out of the many Thrillers sub genres the top three that inspire and interest me are; good vs. evil, psychological thrillers and innocents on the run. These thrillers interest me because they involve people in believable situations; I think that these factors make Thrillers more effective as the audience feel more involved in the events that are taking place.

As a Media student Phychological thrillers inspire me as I think there is a lot that can be done with them. I think they are affective as they can get into the audiences head and get them thinking about what is going to happen, this keeps they hooked to the film. Physiological thrillers such as ‘Silence of the lambs’ can create a cult audience and, it could lead to the success of sequels (‘Cannibal’). I think that Psychological thrillers has a broad audience compared to other genes, as it could interest a wider range of people. Because it does not contain a lot of gore and blood people that don’t enjoy horrors can enjoy physiological thrillers, as they create a sense of fear without making the audience feeling sick. Physiological thrillers also suite an educated and mature audience as they might be able to relate to some of the themes in the film. I think it would be interesting working on a physiological thriller because it would be a challenging task but rewarding at the same time as a lot of thought and would need to go into it to make it a successful and enjoyable for an audience.

I like ‘good vs. evil’ thrillers and ‘innocents on the run’ as they because the audience to react in certain ways and feel emotionally involved in what’s going on. With these types of Thrillers the audience automatically takes sides and they end up rooting for a particular character and in a way they feel emotions for the character. The story line is usually easy to follow and believable. These thrillers interest me and I enjoy watching them because the normally have a good story line that keeps an audience hooked from the beginning to the end.
