We may determine that thriller attracts those who enjoy the suspense and a build up to an anticlimax/climax.
It is apparent that an intense thriller may not be either suitable or appealing to a very young audience, as it also may be too mature for them.
Those who enjoy an intense storyline, predominately of a 15+ age, of course the content of the narrative plays a predominant role to the maturity of the storyline, for example, an 18 classified film may contain explicit scenes that are not suitable for adolescents to witness, and may lead on to a more horror-type of film.
The thing about thrillers is that it can be sub divided into subgenres, i.e. romantic, comedy, thriller and espionage thriller. With this, audiences may find a choice of film that satisfies them more. For one, if an audience enjoys an espionage movie, the thrill embodied into the movie will respectively support the themes introduced. Romantic Thrillers may appeal more to the female gender as romantic films usually do, however, it may not necessarily appeal just to the female genre as a whole; as a 4 year old girl may not be so intrigued with the idea of Romeo and Juliet's forbidden love. And so, these kind of films may appeal to a more mature age, although there may be teenagers who do enjoy a romantic film.
The male gender tend to go for more for an action-thriller that include more action-packed scenes such as car races, fight scenes and explosions.
For the more 'light-hearted', Comedy Thrillers are more suitable, example of this is Rush Hour, casting Jackie Chan and Chris Rock. In this film, there is action and comedy inter-twined with the suspense of fight scenes; predominately this film would appeal more to the male genre, and not necessarily to the 30+ years old audience, as the jokes are based on racial teasing also, which a 15-25 year old audience will find more amusing and will understand more as Chris Rock as a comedian aims for that age range for an audience.
