Thriller Genre Explained

One of the ‘Primary 13’ genres.

Thrillers expertly blend mystery, tension, and anticipation into one exciting story. Successful thrillers are well-paced, often introducing red herrings, divulging plot twists, and revealing information at the exact right moments to keep the audience intrigued. Thrillers often include a “ticking clock” aspect, where the stakes are against a finite amount of time. Crime films, political thrillers, and techno-thrillers are all featured in the thriller genre. The Shining (1980) and The Silence of the Lambs (1991) are examples of psychological thrillers.
