Thriller Sub-Genres

In this post i am going to be providing you examples of different sub genres of thriller films. There are many different sub-genres of thrillers although some of these could be considered as hybrid genres as opposed to sub-genres.

Action Thriller:

Action thrillers generally have a hero centred around the narrative, they will also include lots of action and excitement. Often crime will sometimes come into it but the crime is not as prominent as action.



Conspiracy Thriller:

Only the hero will know the truth about a particular person or other situation. The hero will then need to prove it to everyone else involved before disaster strikes.


Supernatural Thrillers:

These are very similar to horror films however they are not as violent. The character has some sort of supernatural power that must be called upon. You will often have the protagonist battling a evil paranormal force of placed in a situation controlled by an other worldy force beyond their reach.


Crime Thriller:

These films usually focus on a criminal or criminals dealing with a successful or failed crime and the results of the crime which they have committed, The crime which would usually be involved would be robberies, murders, double crosses or another one.
