Destination appeal 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.
