The Features of a Thriller Film

The usual features of a Thriller film include a mental, emotional or physical battle between a character (hero/heroine) and a more powerful, better equipped villain. The villain can take many forms in a Thriller and sometimes can even be the main character, an emotional battle within ones self. There are usually many plot twists and normally lives are at stake, but more than likely it will be a character fighting for a cause whether it be slow paced and involving a great deal of character development or fast paced and racing against the clock containing lots of violence.
