Thriller Sub-genres



Conspiracy Thrillers

Often people conspire against a high status person (for example a person in government). In conspiracy films there is often an innocent person and a bad person. There is often spying and taking pictures of a victim. Two examples of conspiracy films are 'The Bourne Identity' and 'Eagle Eye'.


Spy Thrillers

Spy thrillers often involve a secret agent working undercover for government missions. It  is usually an adventure that involves travel to faraway, desolate places. Alfred Hitchcock made many spy films. Some examples of spy thrillers are 'Secret Agent', 'Charade', 'Mr and Mrs Smith'.



Psychological Thrillers

These can  involve an emotionally unbalanced character who is usually targeting an innocent character. The film is often a  psychological rather than a physical fight between good and evil. There is often a pursuit scene involved. Some examples of psychological films are 'Obsession', 'Vertigo' and 'Fatal Attraction'.
