Why "Thrillers" Thrive?

Why "Thrillers" Thrive?

- To see life reflected on the screen, but in a more far fetched and up scaled way
- To see thrills without actually experiencing them ourselves
- To feel like were in danger when actually we are in the safety of the cinema in a seat
- We participate in the film and identify with characters
- The cinema can leave the viewer with a subconscious assurance of absolute safety, and also play tricks on them
- Gory scenes gives the viewer a thrill as they are seeing something they would never see in real life
- Characters that win the audience's sympathy are involved in the danger
- The film can produce an impression of great danger when there is actually no danger
- The audience thrives on thrills
