Thriller is a genre of literature, film, and television programming that uses suspense, tension, and excitement as its main elements.
A thriller to be defined completely, is suppose to provide thrills, include cliff-hangers and keep the audience on the edge of their seats by creating a tension by building a plot to a climax. Tension is usually made to arise when the main character/s is in a life threatening situation which seems impossible to escape. Plots of thrillers involve characters which come into conflict with each other or with outside forces- the outside person (bady) is usually made shadowy and mysterious.
Thrillers are mainly made into hybrids, meaning there is more than one genre put to a film,
e.g.
- action- or adventure- thrillers
- Sci-Fi thrillers (Alien (1979))
- crime-caper thrillers (The French Connection (1971))
- western-thrillers (High Noon (1952))
- film-noir thrillers (Double Indemnity (1944))
- even romantic comedy-thrillers (Safety Last (1923))
