However cross genres i.e Horror thrillers such as Final Destination 5 appeals more to young adults and teenagers.At first I thought thrillers were more catered to young adults rather than adults; however when I looked at all the thrillers I have watched in the past, they all have been cross genres; but actual thriller movies are more for older adults as it demands intellectual thinking and there is usually more violence, blood and sex.
This chart reflects the thriller movie target age group; as you would find that more older adults watch thrillers compared to teenagers and young adults.
At the same time; although age is part of the thriller target audience so is gender.
Here are different thriller film types and which gender it is usually dominated by:
Psychological Thrillers
The suspect does not use physical strength, but uses psychology to get to their victim. The suspense created by psychological thrillers often comes from two or more characters battling against each other's minds, either by playing deceptive games with the other or by merely trying to demolish the other's mental state. This type of thriller usually requires more intellectual thinking therefore 25+ year olds are more likely to watch these type of thrillers. An example of a psychological thriller is Fatal attraction.
Romantic Thrillers
The story is usually relationship based with an aspect of a thriller in it. Not too many of these type of thrillers are made as it is hard to come up with the plot and may confuse the audience. However; these type of thrillers are Female dominated. An example of this type of thriller is True Romance.
Supernatural Thrillers
Has a supernatural element to the thriller genre. Usually involves a twists into the plot, often the hero/ main character has some kind of psychic ability. This type of thriller is usually watched by female audience. An example of a supernatural thriller is The last exorcism.
