Thriller films

A Thriller is a film that uses suspense, tension and excitement as the main elements. They capture the audiences attention by giving them a high level of anticipation, ultra heightened expectations, uncertainty, surprise, anxiety or horror. They more often than not contain cliffhangers, red herrings or plot twists. They also usually consist of a villain-driven plot that presents obstacles that the main character must overcome. Common sub-genres are psychological thrillers, crime thrillers and mystery thrillers.
