These are just some of the many different thriller sub-genres. Below are some explanations for the main ones we see in movies today.
Conspiracy Thrillers- In which the hero/heroine confronts a large, powerful group of enemies whose true extent only s/he recognizes.
Crime Thrillers-This particular genre is a hybrid type of both crime films and thrillers that offers an account of a successful or failed crime. These films often focus on the criminal(s) rather than a policeman. Crime thrillers usually emphasise action over psychological aspects. Central topics of these films include serial killers/murders, robberies, chases, shootouts, heists and double-crosses.
Erotic Thrillers- A type of thriller that has an emphasis on eroticism and where a sexual relationship plays an important role in the plot.
Political Thrillers- In which the hero/heroine must ensure the stability of the government that employs him.
Pyschological Thrillers-In which (until the often violent resolution) the conflict between the main characters is mental and emotional, rather than physical. Characters, either by accident or their own curiousness, are dragged into a dangerous conflict or situation that they are not prepared to resolve. At times, the characters attempt solving, or are involved in, a mystery.
Spy Thrillers- In which the hero is generally a government agent who must take violent action against agents of a rival government or (in recent years) terrorists. They often revolve spies who are involved in investigating various events, often on a global scale.
Supernatural Thrillers- In which the film brings in an otherworldly element mixed with tension, suspense and plot twists. Sometimes the hero and/or villain has some psychic ability.
Tchno Thrillers- A suspense film in which the manipulation of sophisticated technology plays a prominent part.
