sub-genres

"Thriller" itself, is a specific film genre, which some people like or dislike. However, thriller as many other things have sub-genres, which helps people to choose in movie they might watch (or not!).


Alfred Hitchock, director of the Psycho.



Primary ones are:

-crime

-science fiction

-romance
-psychological
-mystery
-political
-supernatural
-conspiracy

In my 2 min film I am planning to choose either mystery, crime or psychological, such as The Stepfather. I believe that in these sub-genres suspense NEEDS to be created and it need to be good to make to movie interesing and worth to watch and recommend. At the moment I'm inspired by movies such as Momento (psychological), The Stepfather and Psycho (crime/mystery), where suspense is created really well, this is what makes the movie gripping.
