Thrillers: Sub-genres

Romantic Thrillers

Hitchcock's 1958 direction of "Vertigo" is exemplary in manifesting the key themes and ideologies that constitute a romantic thriller - although "Vertigo" is sometimes regarded as more of a psychological thriller, it can be credited as a romance influenced thriller. Romance thrillers work very well in terms of suspense as it presents a 'will they/won't they' question.

Political Thrillers

Political thrillers thrive on the notion of a group of people (syndicate) fighting against another group of people trying to establish an equillibrium. It assumes that a specific group of people (most commonly weaker) are fighting against a more powerful group of people advocating evil policies through totalitarianism.
