list of thriller sub genres - which inspires you at the moment and why?

Psychological Thrillers

Psychological thriller is a specific sub-genre of the wide-ranging thriller genre. This genre usually has characters that are mentally disturbed. There are many mysteries and puzzles to be put together by the audience. The suspense created by psychological thrillers often comes from two or more characters preying upon one another's minds, either by playing deceptive games with the other or by merely trying to demolish the other's mental state.

Political Thrillers



A political thriller is a thriller that is set against the backdrop of political power struggle. They usually involve various plots, rarely legal, designed to give political power to someone, while his opponents try to stop him from getting it. They can involve national or international political scenarios. In political thrillers there tends to be the bad guy who could to be a terrorist and the good guy who usually is the politician.



Supernatural Thrillers

Supernatural is something above or beyond natural, things unexplainable by natural law. Religious miracles are typically supernatural claims, as are spells and curses, divination, the belief that there is an afterlife for the dead, and innumerable others. Supernatural beliefs have existed in many cultures throughout human history. Films that tend to include spells special powers are likely to be supernatural.

I personally have watched all these films and I can honestly say that they are great films and are worth watching, for example the lake view terrace is an eery story of a racially heated relationship between two neighbors. One happens to be a cop, badass Samuel Jackson, who escalates the aggressive relationship to dangerous heights. On the other hand Rendition, is about a true story where the government take in the wrong guy and torture him. on one side the government are mistaken with the wrong guy, and they try do everything to cover up there mistake, and on the other side there is a pregnant wife demanding for answers for her husbands disappearance. He vanished without any explanations made to her which makes her suspicious. This film is about trust, hope, deception, mistakes and love. lastly, The Others is about Grace (Nicole Kidman) raising her two young children alone on an island in a beautiful Victorian mansion, the one place she believes them to be safe. But they become uncomfortably aware of strange sounds and happenings which seem to be supernatural. This is a film full of puzzles and surprises.
