Thriller is an action-packed picture that is designed to arouse excitement, a slight fear for the fate of the main characters and a sense of uncertainty when it is not known how the story told in the film will end.

Types of action pictures

One of the virtues of a thriller is that it organically combines with other cinematographic genres. Therefore, today we can distinguish several types of action scenes:

1. Thriller-detective. The plot of the picture is based on the investigation of a serious crime. Usually this is a search for a maniac or a very clever criminal. A classic example is Silence of the Lambs.

2. Mystical thriller. In the paintings of this genre there are elements of supernatural and mysticism. Example - the film "Shine", shot based on the novel by Stephen King.

3. Thriller-horror. It differs from the previous kind by a more pronounced desire of the creators of the film to frighten the viewer. One of the most interesting paintings of this genre, shot recently - "Sinister".

4. Thriller-thriller. In the center of the plot is the confrontation of the main character with representatives of the criminal world. From ordinary militants is more confusing story.
