The target audience of many thrillers usually consists of adults. This is because it might include a lot of violence and some psychological issues that can be disturbing for younger audiences - especially in psychological thrillers - as well as some thrillers are more intellectually demanding. The genre is slightly male skewed, although the target audience consists of men (51%) and women (49%). However, different sub-genres have different target audiences.
Sub-genres and target audience
Psychological thrillers like 'Memento' are more intellectually demanding, therefore the target audience is about 25-45 years old.
Cross genres like Horror thriller and Action thriller which are less intellectually demanding attract a younger audience (teens) because they want instantaneous excitement.
Political thrillers such as 'Enemy Of State' are more likely to attract an older male audience.
