Thriller Audiences

Audiences of Thriller in my opinion can be debated. Age restrictions minus out a child audience of Thrillers. However, the target audience for Thriller would be aimed at 16-25 year olds, as the majority of people who watch Thrillers are sudents. However, adults also enjoy watching Thrillers.

A Male audience is more likey to be attracted to a thriller film because of the action and crimes in them. However, some Thrillers attract a Female audience too due to the casting roles. If a role model for woman was cast in a thriller, this would attract more woman to watch the film. Some Thrillers can involve both sexual scenes and forbidden romance, which attracts both females and males. However, as a whole, the target audience for a Thriller movie is in fact men in between the ages of 16 to 25 years.
