Why 'Thrillers' Thrive

The first summary that I can make from the article entitled 'Why "Thrillers" Thrive is that 'Thrillers' thrive because unlike other film genres, they make a difference to a person's welfare and personality. The article states in a very true fashion that if a person is deprived of a 'thrill' or 'shake-up' they can be left with a 'sluggish' or 'jellyfied' nature. Some people choose to register these thrills from extreme scenarios or stunts such as skydiving or bungee jumping. However, many prefer to gain these thrills from something that is not just a lot cheaper but is a lot more accessible and evidently, this is film.
The article also talks about how thrillers are created in such away that the audience feels a sense of participation in the film. Which allows them to empathise with the characters and really start to believe how safe and secure a viewer's life really is when compared with a character experiencing the stress and turmoil that is shown in so many thrillers. It is this sense of participating thus being out of control that film makers use to give the viewer a 'thrill'. Which I have explained above is how the thriller genre differs from others.
These summaries show not only how thrillers generate demand through the use of the viewer almost needing to see in order to not become 'sluggish' this need is different from the norm as it is need not want. But, how film makers direct the films in such a way to create the thrills that satisfy consumer needs.
Finally, the extract discusses how 'Horrors' differ from 'Thrillers' and the different effects they have on the audience. Film makers for the 'Thriller' genre aim to thrill and excite which is similar to 'Horrors' but sometimes they can push the boundaries leaving some viewers scared and upset as oppose to delivering thrills that make the audience feel better about themselves which so many decent thrillers do.
