The thriller genre covers many different types of different films within that genre; all of these different films reach out to a range of different audiences due to a different range of content and conventions.
Various sub-genre’s include
Action thriller: This is the kind of thriller in which the main character or protagonist often has to have a race against time to save someone or something. This sub-genre often contains many scenes of violence, also an obvious antagonist. A prime example of this type of film would be James Bond.
Conspiracy thriller: This sub genre of the thriller film often involves a protagonist whom is facing a very serious or powerful enemy, which they only know about; a good example of this type of film is Three days of the condor.
Crime thriller: This particular sub genre is a hybrid, not only of thriller films but also the crime genre. Often, these films concentrate more on the antagonist in the film, rather than they do on the protagonist, the main film often being based around a successful or unsuccessful crime, the films normally include topics such as murder, car chases, robberies and shoot outs. A good example of this type of film is Asphalt Jungle.
Disaster Thriller: This particular kind of thriller mainly revolves around one big disaster within the film, sometimes a natural disaster, 2012 for example.
Drama Thriller: These films usually contain some element of mystery and drama, this particular genre of the thriller film is often much more slow paced than its counterparts, and example of this type of film would be the illusionist.
