Thrillers fundamentally consist of a battle among justice and injustice, a stereotypical battle of “evil” and “good”. They often include one group of people who are the criminals, and the other are trying to stop them or solve something. There are many types of thrillers, here are some examples;
action thrillers
spy thrillers
political thrillers
military thrillers
conspiracy thrillers
My personal favourite types of thrillers are psychological thrillers. In psychological thrillers the conflict between the main characters are normally mental or emotional, rather than physical. They can also have many twists to them that keep the story interesting. Thrillers may also leave you with an unanswered question or an undefined conclusion, which keeps the audience thinking about the film and leaves space for the imagination. For example in Shutter Island, it turns out the main character is looking for an escaped mental patient, that turns out to be himself, so he is his own enemy. The ending was also undefined for the audience so there is a lot of debate between people whether he was crazy at the end or not.
