Thriller films can be broken up into many different sub-genres, each of which have a different audience to play too. A few examples of these different types of thrillers are; action, disaster, religious, historical, medical and serial.
The main target age range for thrillers are 18-25 male and female.
Action thrillers are most likely to attract young teens and may be some younger children depending on their age. At that age in my opinion the action is exciting to them and it's something other that the norm to them. i also think that disaster thrillers and also historical thrillers may be beneficial to them as they can both learn something and be entertained at the same time. Action thrillers are mainly directed to male audiences.
In contrast to this i feel that religious, medical and serial thrillers would be more suited to adults as they all naturally have adult themes and may be found disturbing and have lack of censoring.
In terms of the film 'Casino Royale' starring James Bond and other James Bond films although they have mainly adult themes, strangely they are for the whole family apart from young children. In my opinion it is still mainly aimed at men but also aimed at females as there is a lot of flirtatious behaviour between Bond and women which may not just be appealing to men. I feel that Bond films are for a wide target audience as although they include mainly adult themes there are still a lot of aspects of the film that can include children. Bond films are usually popular in children and families as they has been and people have grown up around Bond and his films.
