Thriller is a genre of film, literature and television. The key essentials of a thriller are suspense, tension and excitement. The primary subgenres of thrillers are: mystery, crime and psychological thrillers. The brightest examples of thrillers are the Hitchcock’s movies.
Thrillers mainly consist of an atmosphere of menace, violence, crime and murder by showing society as dark, corrupt and dangerous, however they often have a happy ending in which the villains are killed or arrested. Thrillers heavily elevate on literary devices such as plot twists, red herrings and cliff hangers. They also advance on moods, such as a high level of anticipation, adrenaline rush, arousal, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, anxiety and sometimes even terror.
Characters in thrillers often include criminals, stalkers, assassins, innocent victims (often on the run), menaced women, characters with dark pasts, psychotic individuals, terrorists, cops and escaped cons, private eyes, people involved in twisted relationships, world-weary men and women, psycho-fiends, and more. The themes of thrillers frequently include terrorism, political conspiracy, pursuit, or romantic triangles leading to murder
In recent years, thrillers have been slightly influenced by the horror genre; they have more gore/sadistic violence, brutality, terror and body counts. Recent thrillers which took this route include Eden Lake, The Last House on the Left, P2, Untraceable and Funny Games
