The genre of thriller is extremely broad which also has many sub genres within the genre. These sub genres include, for example, Physiological Thrillers, Action thrillers and even romantic comedy thrillers.
A thriller contains certain characteristic. The pace must be quick with lot of action, and there should be suspense where the plot twists. Thrillers should have the audience sitting on the edge of their seats , wondering if the protagonist wont get killed.
Thrillers are often set in mysterious locations, although this isn’t essential as certain sub genres, like Crime Thrillers do not have these characteristics. The main characters are usually male, who usually get dragged into the plot to save the day. These men are usually spies, armed forces or working for the government. Sometimes you could get a ordinary person to be the protagonist who gets drawn in to the plot, but they always are cut out for the job and ready for any danger coming their way. Woman are often the protagonists to, but are used to a limited extent, but its still more of a male dominated genre,
It has been suggested that thrillers mostly require the protagonist to solve a current problem to prevent it happening. Usually the antagonist are on a grand scale of skill as well which builds the plot with several enigmas and suspense.
