Internet Audience Research

The thriller genre spans into many other genres so it is difficult to pin point an exact target audience. Some thrillers concentrate just on the psychological, suspense aspect of thriller most notably Alfred Hitchcock who was labeled 'the master of suspense' however in more recent times audiences have changed and are more blood-thirsty obliging creators of thrillers to go a more sadistic, gruesome route with the films they make. These films are more likely to be aimed at younger teenage audiences as they concentrate less on storyline and more on visual effects to build suspense and surprise the audience. However crime and psychological thrillers are aimed at, but not limited to, older audiences because of the in-depth story and a higher attention span being required.
