List of Thriller sub-genres

In class today we looked at different kinds of sub-genres.

This is a list of sub-genres that i know of:
  • Action thriller: Action thriller often features a race against the clock; it contains violence, obvious antagonist. E.g. collateral
  • Crime thriller: This particular genre is about crime films and thrillers that offer suspense of a successful or failed crime or crimes. E.g. the film Se7en
  • Disaster thriller: the word disaster reflects to words such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, etc
  • Medical thriller: In which the hero/heroine are medical doctors/personnel working to solve an increasing medical problem.
  • Psychological thriller: (often violent resolution) the difference between the main characters is mental and emotional, rather than physical.


The genre i liked was the action thriller because its got a lot of CGI, guns, fights etc included which makes the film action packed.
