What are the sub-genre's of Thriller films?

Thriller films are a selection of huge sub-genres, this means that when people say that they are going to watch a Action thriller film they are going to watch a sub-genre of Action thriller films because we don’t go to the cinema to just watch thriller films, we go to see the sub-genre which we like; for example for someone who doesn't like historical thriller but they might like Techno thriller but they are still thriller films.
           Here are the Sub-genres of Thriller films;
  • Adventure thriller's
  • Disaster thriller's
  • Historical thriller's
  • Medical thriller's
  • Religious thriller's
  • Serial killer thriller's
  • Technology thriller's
  • Action thriller's
This is going to help me with my planning of my film because i am able to look at the sub-genre's of Thrillers and see which sub-genre i can do because they have their own codes and conventions to each sub-genre. by taking apart the thriller genre and looking at the sub-genres it means that i can have a clear mind about which sub-genre i am going to chose and i can meet the requirements of that genre.

  1. This is just a list, it is not clear how this piece of work is actually going to help your own film.

    It may be an idea to select one of these sub-genres of thriller films and discuss the conventions of what is expected for this type of film
