Thrillers come in a variety of genres but the 4 most popular one's I found interesting were Suspense, Mystery, Action, and Spy.
Suspense Thriller
Suspense thrillers focus on tensions, dread, and anticipation. Some conventions is the tendency to place characters in vulnerable situations, close calls, and a sense of incoming danger. An example of a movie that incorporates this is "A Quiet Place" which emphasizes on silence becoming a survival strategy.
Mystery Thriller
In Mystery thrillers they hook the audiences with questions and tension through uncovering secrets, puzzles, and piecing together the clues. The typical conventions are crimes, twists, and slow burn revelations with a final aha moment. An example of this is "Knives out" movie which is a whodunit with sharp twists.
Action Thriller
Action Thrillers thrive on danger and stakes, the plot moves fast making the audience feel as if they barely get a chance to breathe. Some code and conventions of action thrillers usually have a clear villain or threat and usually racing against a timeline. An example of this is in John Wick which has nonstop combat and pursuit after a personal loss.
Spy Thriller
While John Wick has a straight line of vengeance, mission impossible is a race against technical failure. The clear threat in this movie is a global catastrophe and the "ticking clock" is often a literal countdown on a screen that Ethan Hunt is trying to reach. The plot has a fast pace forcing him through death defying acts and we also see team mates in this movie heightening the movie.
