Thriller genre research

Thrillers are a genre of literature, film, and television program that uses suspense, tension, and excitement as the main elements. A common subgenre is psychological thriller. Successful examples of thrillers are the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Thriller films heavily stimulate the viewer's moods, with high levels of anticipation, suspense and uncertainty. Three of the highest rated thriller films are:
1. Pulp Fiction
2. The Dark Knight
3. Inception


Psychological thriller is a specific sub-genre of the broad ranged thriller and might have horror elements. However, it often incorporates elements from the mystery and drama genre, in addition to the typical traits of the thriller genre.


A Political thriller is a sub genre that is set against the backdrop of a political power struggle. They usually involve various extra-legal plots, designed to give political power to someone, while his opponents try to stop him. They 
can involve national or international political scenarios.
