List Of Thriller Sub-Genres - Which Inspires Me At The Moment & Why

There are many different 'Thriller Sub-Genres' that films fall into, many over lapping, the ones that have inspired me, so far, are:

Psychological Thrillers - this is when the plot of a film is unclear for it's audience and they are left in suspension as they are unaware of what is to come. It may also be that the plot is disorganised or all over the place, examples include...
The reason why i may consider this type of thriller is because, i think it is the strongest type of thriller at keeping the interest of the audience at high, though it creates and increases tension through-out most of the film. Though these films tend to create confusion for the audience, by the end of the film, they usually acknowledge what they didn't know and consider viewing it again in order to understand the plot whilst watching it.



Horror/Thriller - this is when the film contains a mixture of blood and deaths as well as suspense and tension for the audience, examples include...
The reason why i may consider this type of thriller is because, many of the times that suspension is built up, it is able to be broken with the appearance of horror which increases the excitement for the audience. Though the film is less pleasant to view, the combination with thriller minimises the chance of the audience not wanting to see it.


'Innocent On The Run' Thrillers - this is when a film has the villains chasing after the victims, and though the audience are aware this is taking place, they never know where the villain is, or from what direction they will be coming from, examples from...
The reason why i may consider this type of thriller is because, as there is an innocent victim, it puts the audience in the position of that victim and increases the adrenaline for them. The plot gets extended as the victim are unaware of what is going on, and until they discover, the film will drag on. The audience have their interest at high as they too, want to 'escape' from the villain.
