A crime thriller is defined as one which is more focused on the criminals and their lives rather than the policemen who are trying to capture them. So, in relation to our film, the 'Anaesthetist' would be the main focus of the film. However, crime thrillers also usually focus more on action rather than the psychological aspects of a criminal. This wouldn't really be the case in our thriller. Although there would probably be some 'action' like the kidnapping of more girls, it would not happen often enough to be the main focus of the film.
Our thriller also has some aspects of a psychological thriller. This is because the film would probably focus on the killer's mind and the reasons behind his actions, rather than his actions themselves.
Other thriller sub-genres include:
- Horror Thriller
Horror thrillers contain the element of fear throughout the film. The main character is or will often become the victim.
Example: 'Hostel' - Action Thriller
Action thrillers often feature a race against time with lots of violence.
Example: 'The Bourne Identity' - Drama Thriller
Drama thrillers contain more character development than other thrillers and they are often more slow-paced than other thrillers.
Example: 'Perfume: The Story of a Murderer' - Supernatural Thriller
Supernatural thrillers normally show protagonists either battling an evil paranormal force or stuck in a situation caused by ghosts or other paranormal beings.
Example: 'The Ring'
