Audience response:
Thriller movies give the audience thrills that they wouldn’t
experience personally. In addition most people love to have the suspense of what’s
going to happen next which they try to work out during the movie like solving a
puzzle. Also, directors of thrillers want to keep the audient alert and on the
edge of their seat at all times.
However, I believe suspense is the most common reason why people enjoy watching thrillers. For example, personally I hate thrillers I would look away however as the paste of the music starts to change I start to wonder what’s happening so I can’t stand the suspense and look. Furthermore its adrenaline rushing and fast paced which provides the audience with a sudden rush of emotions.

A common aspect about thrillers: A thing that most thrillers have in common is that they are mostly all set in dark environments with low light and involves a lot of death. Also the paste of the music changes from slow pastes to fast then a sudden loud noise to make the audience jump out of their seat.
Looper
Looper is an example of an Sci-Fi thriller which is about a
hired hit man (Joe). When the government or anyone wants to get rid of someone
they send them back 30 years into the past where the hit man waits and shoots
them and gets money in return. However, one day Joe himself gets sent back and that’s
where it all starts to get a bit complicated
