Thriller Genre

The thriller genre is a category of literature, film, and other narrative forms characterized by suspense, excitement, and tension. Thrillers often involve a central protagonist facing a significant threat or danger, typically in the form of crime, espionage, or psychological conflict. The narrative is designed to provoke strong emotional responses from the audience, keeping them on the edge of their seats through high-stakes scenarios, unexpected plot twists, and a fast-paced storyline.
