Thriller and subgenres

Thriller is a genre that revolves around suspense. The aim for thrillers is to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. The tension with the main problem is built on throughout the film and leads to a highly stressful climax.

Action Thriller

An action thriller uses physical action to create suspense within the film. Like a traditional Action film, this sub-genre has continuous action, chases, fights, battles and races. Often, these scenes will contribute to the overall sense of danger that the protagonist is facing.

Crime Thiller

Crime Thriller film is a sub-genre that incorporates the suspenseful aspects of a thriller  with a drum film plot.this sub-genres plot usually centres around a serial killer, murderer, robbery or manhunt. Crime thrillers use both action and psychological aspects to build tension and suspense.

Film-Noir

Film noir is not simply a sub-genre but rather a term for a stylistic type of crime-drama or thriller that was popular throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Film-noir relies on a narrative voice and various flashbacks to explain the intricate plot.

Psychological Thillers

In addition to the traits of a regular thriller, a psychological thriller incorporates elements of drama and mystery film. The suspense in this sub-genre comes from the min, rather than from a psychical threat.

This is the sub-genre I would most like to replicate because it affects the audience on a more mental level which will effect their general lives. It is also more focused on creating confusion which does not rely on too many props or special effects as a different sub-genre may.

Science Fiction Thriller

Science Fiction Thriller incorporates hypothetical, science-based themes into the plot of the film. Often, this sub-genre will explore the "future-gone-bad" theme, including plots that revolve around alien invasions, dystopian scenarios, and super-diseases.

Religious Thriller

Religious Thriller film incorporates religious themes, including religious questions, ceremonies, and objects. Though some films can revolve around a specific church, many Religious Thrillers include supernatural experiences not pertaining to a certain religion. Exorcisms, demon possession, and church cover ups are typical themes of Religious Thrillers.
