Thriller Sub Genres

When we started to look at thrillers, we had to discuss and brain storm what type of film we thought was a thriller and name some and then the class disgusted what sub genre it would fall under. We come up with 6 sub genres Action thriller, Serial Killers, Political Thrillers, Innocent on the run, Super Natural 'Chillers' & Psychological Thrillers.

Action Thriller:
A mystery action some kind of adventure his is also one of the hardest sub genres of thriller to write because of the amount of action required. However we come up with these films that would fall under action. The films we said come under this genre were Jaws, Anaconda, Mission Impossible, Deep Blue Sea


Serial Killers:
Popular sub genre of thriller. This is basically about A serial killer who is making someone or a group of people very fearful also uses horrific violence. The detectives aim is to stop the killer before he goes to far and kills another victim. The films that i said come under this sub genre were: Silence of the lambs, Final Destination, Psycho, Seven

.
Political Thrillers:
This is a thriller which is against political background, Usually plots threw legal, political power to someone, however not that simple always someone trying to stop them getting this power. We come up with films like, Eastern Promises and Collateral, Law Abiding Citizen.


Innocent on the run:
This is almost like serial killer how
ever it can be more mysterious. The films that we said fall under this genre where phone booth and The fugitive.


Super Natural:
under this sub genre super natural involved ghosts! super natural genre people normal get confused about. Examples the films that we come up with, The sixth Sense, The shining, The exorcist, The orphan, The Village



Psychological:
These involve people who are insane and don't really know what there doing they may have mental problems. Or simply a psychological thriller can contain flash backs. The films we said fit under this genre were Memento, 21 and Dollie Darko



Disaster Thriller:
i also thought about a disaster thriller being another sub genre this could involve any kind of disaster that can affect lots of people examples a dam bursting, a tornado sweeping through Los Angeles, a luxury cruise liner sinking.

Historical Thriller:
Thrillers set in the past usually combined with other sub genres.At the moment the sub genre that inspires me the most would have to be a action thriller its exciting to watch and makes you want to know more about the plot however i also like super natural thrillers they have suspense and unexpected moments. I have seen more super natural thrillers as well. The orphan i went to see i enjoyed it was not normal and i would have never of guess she was a full grown women out to get the ladies husband because she couldn't she would kill, she looked like a normal child with a strange twist the film did use a lot of grimy scene when she was killing and she was rather into the sexual nature although i thought this film was really good to watch it made me jump out my seat at moments and even cover my eyes when the gory parts where shown it sent shivers down my back as she killed.
