             Thrillers.

"What is a Thriller? Or what is a genre even?" These are questions you might ask yourself whilst browsing through the genre list on Netflix or in the local cinema.

Well a genre is a category of film for example ; comedy films like 'Harold and Kumar', horror could be a film such as 'The Exorcist', action could be the famous 'Rush Hour' Trilogy, romance would have a film like 'Mama Mia!' and so fourth It's important you know what it is just so you can choose a film based on what you know what you like or so you can avoid one that you don't and Thriller is one of the most popular of all the genres.
A blockbuster has the viewers on the edge of there seats, biting nails and leaves them covering their eyes but still getting in a tiny peep to see what happens next.

A Thriller is the category of film that brings you tension and anxiety through the suspense of the storyline and excitement of the CGI effects. Its has putting yourself into the shoes of the protagonist and being in shock and awe with the plot twists that has the power to turn everything you know about the film at that point into a lie or a question with can leave you speechless.

The Audience response to thrillers :
 

 Thriller is one of the most popular genre due to the effects it has on its audience.

Mental Affect: Certain factors of the movie have an effect on the audience even after the movie. Usually the it takes affect through fear of certain people that seem similar to certain characters or certain places or situations but it can also make people do things that the hero or heroin do in certain situations which is why it says not to copy any stunts and things in the movie that could put them in danger.

Physical effect: Another effect that thriller can have on the audience is the physical aspect sweating, covering eyes biting nails and even screaming this can be caused from camera angles (for example) Point of view 'P.O.V' which puts the viewers in
 a characters  viewpoint so if the antagonist is chasing them he's chasing you. I will mention more about how camera angles and methods create anxiety and anticipation but one of the best things to create affect is the sound track, because it is used for tension build up to scare and prepare viewers for something that's about to happen but because in recent days its out dated but still affective film makers tend to use it to make people think something's about to happen.
