Thriller Sub-Genres

The Thriller category of movies is very wide and unspecific. The following are sub-genres of the Thriller genre.

Psychological Thriller - e.g Donnie Darko. Movies with complicated and often creepy storylines.

Man On The Run - e.g The Fugitive. Movies which follow one person or a group of people's journey as they are hunted down.

Action Thriller - e.g Con Air. Movies which are packed with explosions, gunfire and fighting, but suffer from unrealistic moments and minimal storyline.

Slasher Thriller - e.g Scream. Movies which usually follow a violent series of killings.

Spoof Thriller - e.g Shawn of The Dead. Movies which use stereotypical elements of famous thrillers and pack them in a funny way into one movie.

Horror Thriller - e.g Saw. Movies which are designed simply to scare the viewer.
