Thrillers tend to throw their audience off their feet. Thrillers involve many scary plots usually resulting in characters turning up in risky, difficult and dangerous situation. They have a great deal of story telling a lot like in a novel but in the sense that the story starts with a serious problem and ends up with a protagonist (our hero) to save the day who actually in turn ends up making it worse and worse of course with the introduction of the antagonist (bad guy) and this usually ends with a short denouement (wrap-up). Most thrillers have life or death situations and others have murder investigations these different features are located to many different sub-genres (talked about briefly on next blog post). Many thrillers speak out to you in a sense that they ask you(the audience) who is the culprit/murderer, but some e.g Silence of the lambs, Jaws etc. tell you who the culprit is at the beginning. Usually thrillers involve high levels of anticipation, risk, anxiety, nerve-racking tension, excitement, suspense and uncertainty. there are of course other minor features but these are the most important and main features involved in thriller films.
