Target Audiences For Thriller Films

Target audiences for films usually depend upon the genre. Thriller audiences consist more of a male skew, but this differs with cross genre. Horror thrillers, action thrillers and political thrillers such as 'Enemy of the state and Deja Vu (2006)' have a male skew this is because men are drawn into films with more action. Horror and action thrillers have a younger audience of 16/25 as they are more exciting for this age group.

Romance Thrillers tend to get a more female skew.' He loves me, he loves me not (2002)' narrative focuses on love and romance which females are more interested in. They also have a male audience as there narrative connects to a male audience also.

Supernatural and Psycological Thrillers have a more older audience of 25/45. 'Orphanage (2007)'  also has a female skew, but their audience is much older as in order to understand this genre of film you need a certain level of intelligence. The music, ghostly tearing off paper and little kids notify the audience that this is to do with the supernatural.

Thriller audiences depend upon what cross genre your film will be looking at. Psychological thrillers attract an older ranged audience as they are able to follow the story line consistently. Horror thriller audiences are mainly younger audiences who are there for excitement and thrill.
