What is a Thriller/Aspects of a Thriller.

A Thriller is a well known genre of a film that was the forte of director Alfred Hitchcock who later on I will be going into detail on.
A thriller will have many different aspects when shown. One of the main ones will be that there will also be a mystery or conspiracy within the film, there will also be an aspect of terror and suspense within the film so that there will be something for the audience to not expect or see happening that will happen unexpectedly. There will also be an important sub-genre within the film and will be characterized by fast pacing, frequent action. Another aspect within a thriller will be that the main/central protagonist (main character/hero) will always be identified by the audience very early on in the film and will have good qualities and be liked by everyone in and out of a film. The central/main protagonist (bad guy) will have all the bad qualities and may not always be known to the audience but eventually will reveal throughout the film. The main protagonist will also be intriguing and interesting to the audience. Often the killer will usually be revealed at the end or revealed at the start or during the film so that they will often know more than the antagonist and protagonist. Also the antagonist will usually win the battle and walk away with everything whether it be the girl, the money or anything else that they was after during the film. A few more main aspects of a thriller will be shock moments and always elements of danger, violence and possibly death. Also there will usually be a race against time and the villain will always be better equipped that the antagonist. Thrillers are often taken in an exotic setting such as Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, Barbados etc.
