A sub-genre is when a genre lies in within another genre, it is the combination of two genres.
-Conspiracy thriller is when a hero tries to overcome a powerful organisation for example, the film JFK (1991), in which the conspiracy of his assassination. A hero in the movie would try and solve the situation.
-Crime thriller is usually when in a film, the story follows up the lives of an individual or group who commits a dangerous crime, for example, The Taking Of Pelham 123 (2009). Some of the crimes include murder, robbery, shoot-outs, and hostages.
- Disaster thriller is when there is conflict between an individual (or group of people) and natural distasters. An example is the film 2012, in which a family tries to survive a combination of earthquakes, hurricanes and extreme weather.
- Mystery thriller is when a detector tries to solve a puzzle of mysteries, in which may include trying to figure out clues of a crime. The plot of the story is usually intelligent and has many twists. An example is Shutter Island (2010)
-Political thriller is usually when a government hires a hero to stop an enemy from doing any damage that may effect the governments status. These may include the hero to stop future murderse from happening and World Wars. An example is The Contender (2000).
-Psychological thriller is the genre that relies on mental and emotional behaviour. There is a lot of conflict between an individuals feelings and this may create suspense to the audience. The story may build on an individuals mentality characteristics and how they think, which this makes the film more suspenseful. An example is Red Eye (2005)
-Religious thriller is a genre that has elements of religion (e.g. Christinaity). The film itself usually shows the good and bad side of the religion, and how it may have an impact on the individual. There may be puzzles to solve in the film which may lead to answers from the individual. An example is The Ninth Gate (1999)
-Supernatural thriller is when a film portrays a character which has abilities that is logically impossible in the real world. They usually use special abilities to overcome conflict from the opposition. These films provide fantastic visuals in terms of editing. An example is The Dead Zone (1983)
-Techno thriller may be considered as a genre that exaggerates on the main technology we have today. For example, human robots are considered as real pedestrians which have a brain. The film that has a similar story to this is I-Robot (2004)
My favourite sub genre movie of thriller is "The Matrix" in which is techno thriller. My reasons for this is because of the editing of the movie, it will well constructed and has great visuals for our eyes to see. The idea of time travel in the movie is very original in terms of the plot itself.
