The Article on Why "Thrillers" Thrive talks about why we as humans enjoy these "emotional disturbances", or how they are commonly called, "thrills". It also talks about how we are able to watch thrillers knowing we are safe, for example sitting in a secure environment. This makes the thriller appear as though we are watching it through a window as such. Another point that is made is that we are not just spectators of the actions on screen, we are in fact participating also, we have to, to feel the true emotions that the characters are feeling.
It gives a good example of "good cinema" from the scene from "Hells Angles" where we are really put in the footsteps of the character on screen, due to the quick changes of shots and the facial expressions we see, we are able to feel first hand the sense of panic that the character is feeling. It also continues to say that there is no harm in this because we know subconsciously that we are safe.
In the conclusion of the article it states that the writer believes that the thriller genre will be successful and be around for a long time, compared to the horror film genre which will soon die out.
