Why Thrillers Thrive

On the article 'Why thrillers thrive' we find that we don't fully agree or disagree with what is being said, although good points are raised, some things that are said are a little off point for example "the horror film will die" which is a very unrealistic accusation. They seem to be biased on the side of the thriller film genre but by this are unfairly casting out horror which is a very popular and grasping genre alone and will for the rest of time will attract it's large audience to the cinema.
I think this article is trying to put down the horror genre as part of promoting the thriller genre, by this we disagree with their method although some of the points they raise are very interesting for example "Our nature is such that we must have these shake-ups." Yes thriller delivers this but so does horror, in fact horror delivers a much stronger and intense thrill.
I think the person who wrote this article has a serious grudge against horrors, in this they are trying to make their readers think it is a bad and sick thing to engage in which is indeed wrong.
The article itself is interesting and true but they go a little off course when they bring in horror, as it delivers the safe thrill that they are trying to promote. We disagree with how they've belittled the horror genre, which is a bit of a letdown.

Protagonist Comparason



We used Clarice from Silence of the Lambs to compare to our protagonist. She is very involved in her work and shows great fascination with Hannibal Lector.
  • Her costume tells us that she is very committed and smartly dressed we don't often see her casually dressed which shows us she is more work than play.
  • Shes a strong woman who is determined to solve these clues and get Hannibal even though it involves getting mixed up in a very dangerous way of life and work.
  • She often turns to clues and has a strange relationship with Hannibal which makes the film more gripping, we know our Antagonist, it's like a constant gripping mind game.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Our protagonist links in with Clarice because they're both committed to their job and we are going to show this in his costume, we will always have him dressed smartly.
  • They will both be putting their lives and spare time into catching their antagonists, they will both be chasing up clues until the antagonist is behind bars.
