What are genres
In film theory, genre refers to the method based on similarities in the narrative elements from which films are constructed. Most theories of film genre are borrowed from literary genre criticism.
Types of thriller genres
A Thriller is a story that is usually a mix of fear and excitement. It has traits from the suspense genre and often from the action, adventure or mystery genres, but the level of terror makes it borderline horror fiction at times as well. It generally has a dark or serious theme, which also makes it similar to drama.
- Disaster-thriller: A story including serious and immediate danger, where the protagonist's job is to both survive, and to save many other people from a grim fate, often a natural disaster, but which may also be a terrorist attack or epidemic of some sort.
- Psychological thriller: Emphasizes the psychological condition of the hero that presents obstacles to his objective. Some psychological thrillers are also about complicated stories that try to deliberately confuse the audience.
- Crime thriller: A story that revolves around the life of detectives, mobs, or other groups associated with criminal events in the story.
