Thriller is a broad genre of literature, film and television that includes numerous and often overlapping sub-genres.
Thrillers are characterised by fast pacing frequent action and resourceful heroes who must thwart the plans of more powerful and better equipped villains. Devices such as suspense, red herrings and cliff hangers are used extensively.
A thriller is a villain driven plot, whereby he presents obstacles the hero must overcome. The genre is flexible and can engage the audience through a dramatic rendering of psychological, social and political tensions. Hitchcock said thriller allow the audience "to put their toe in the cold water of fear, to see what it's like".
An example is House at the End of the Street, they created tension when the mother woke up and looked out the window to see a house put on a light at 3am when there wasn't meant to be anyone in the house as it was abandoned.
