2. Thriller subgenres
• There are many different thriller subgenres
including legal, psychological, disaster, and
many more. Each of these subgenres appeal
to different demographics and
psychographics.
3. Legal thrillers
• Legal thrillers and crime thrillers usually fit a
more mature psychographic than
psychological and disaster thrillers due to the
deep, gripping storylines and plot points.
• They often contain captivating and mysterious
characters that often appeal to older
demographics.
4. Psychological thrillers
• Psychological thrillers usually contain elements of
mystery and suspense, sometimes even mild horror.
This allows them to connect with a younger audience.
• The characters are sometimes morally ambiguous
which draws a curious audience.
• The storylines often contain plot twists and false
protagonists which are popular with most
demographics and psychographics.
• The genre is quite wide but usually they have a
qualitative audience: they strive for artistic value as
opposed to profit.
5. Disaster thrillers
• Disaster thrillers often appeal towards a young
male demographic. This is due to their excessive
action, chaos and destruction and often fairly
basic storylines.
• The genre often attracts a less mature
psychographic due the drawing point of the
movie being visual and not necessarily for the
dialogue or acting.
• These movies often have a quantitative audience
as it aims to make profit not to hold any artistic
precedent.
