Some more thriller examples.

These are some more examples of thriller films and what they entail. There are 3 different genres here, but they all have qualities in common.

Sci-Fi


Action


Disaster


There are many thriller films with many different sub-genres, but every single one has the same thing in common. Fast paced, action packed, explosive(in most cases literally) scenes from start to finish. This is what defines a thriller from another genre such as Horror or comedy.(but there are cases that use small amounts of horror or other genres within thrillers)Many thrillers use the "anything can happen" rule, which means they don't have to follow real world rules. Another more common expression of this is "far-fetched". The Alien vs Predator films are a prime example of this as they use futuristic technology and aliens dominate the known galaxy. On many occasions During the films, the lead character survives situations they would not normally survive in real life. This is the definition of far-fetched.
