What is a thriller?
Thriller Film is a genre that revolves around anticipation and suspense. The aim for Thrillers is to keep the audience alert and on the edge of their seats. The protagonist in these films is set against a problem – an escape, a mission, or a mystery. No matter what sub-genre a Thriller film falls into, it will emphasize the danger that the protagonist faces. The tension with the main problem is built on throughout the film and leads to a highly stressful climax.
Characteristics of thrillers
Thrillers often overlap with mystery stories, but are
distinguished by the structure of their plots. The crimes that mainly occur in
thrillers are serial, mass murder, terrorism, assassination or the overthrow of
governments.
Some thrillers have a climax. When a mystery
climaxes as the mystery is solved, a thriller climaxes when the hero finally
defeats the villain, saving his own life and often the lives of others.
