Film Audiences - Thriller

Occasionally, there is a slightly larger male audience for thriller films in general. However, that being said, both male and female audiences enjoy thriller films. They differ with cross genre (sub genre) and often tend to open the audience up during the opening sequences.


Romance thrillers often attracts more female audiences rather than male due to the subject revolved around love and men. Supernatural thrillers are also found to attract the female audience as well. The action genre typically surrounds the male gender and therefore action thrillers will hold much more of a male audience rather than female due to it's popularity holding  masculine qualities. 

In terms of audience age ratings for certain thriller film sub-genres, Supernatural and Psychological thrillers have an older audience roughly around the ages between 25-45 y/o. Psychological thrillers in particular require active and conscience thinking in order to understand the concept and storyline of the film. While other thriller sub-genres such as, horror thrillers attract more of the younger generation aged between 16-25 y/o.
