Thriller Narratives
A genuine Thriller film is one that pursues a single goal, one that keeps the audience at the edge of their seats until it reaches climax
Tension is created when the main character is put in a threatening situation, and the audience has to see how they will escape the complicated situation, usually a mystery or a dangerous mission.
Life itself is usually threatened and usually because the principle character is involved in a dangerous unknowing and unsuspecting deadly situation.
Plots usually involve characters coming into conflict with each other or outside situations or forces.
