Thriller is a broad genre which includes many, often overlapping sub-genres. Some of these sub-genres are :-
Action thriller - In which the work often features a race against the clock, contains lots of violence, and an obvious antagonist. These films usually contain large amounts of guns, explosions, and large elaborate set pieces for the action to take place.Notable examples are the 'James Bond' films and 'The Transporter'.
Pyschological thriller - In which the conflict between the main characters is mental and emotional, rather than physical.The Alfred Hitchcock films 'Suspicion', 'Shadow of a Doubt', and 'Strangers on a Train'.
Horror thriller - In which conflict between the main characters are mental, emotional, and physical. Two recent examples of this include the 'Saw' series of films and the Danny Boyle's '28 Days Later'.

Some good analysis here, Hannah. There is a growing competence and confidence in use of appropriate media language and you offer detailed comments on each of the films studied. Good work.
