Planning/ Research Thrillers and Horrors!!!!!

Thriller
-A genre of literature, film and television.
-Uses suspense, tension and excitement
-Subgenres: psychological thriller, political thriller and paranoid thriller
-Red herrings and cliff hangers are used extensively

Horror
-intended to frighten, inducing feelings of horror and terror.
-creates an eerie atmosphere
-can be either super natural or non super natural
-has ancient origins which were reformulated in the 18th century as gothic horror.

After considering these genres, we concluded that our timescale, themes and materials would be best suited to thriller, in particular the sub-genre Psychological thrillers.
