Thriller, dictionary definition: A novel, play, or film with an exciting plot, typically involving crime or espionage.
Thriller Film is a genre that revolves around anticipation and suspense. The aim of a thriller film is to keep the audience active and anxious. The protagonist of the film is usually set against a problem - an escape, a mission, or a mystery. No matter what the sub-genre a thriller film falls into, it will emphasise the danger that the protagonist faces, whether that be a physical or the antagonist; it could even be both. The tension with the main problem or plot is built throughout the film and leads to a highly anticipated stressful climax.
Some examples of thriller films are:
- The Great Escape
- Silence of the Lambs
- North By Northwest
