The thriller genre I believe has a diverse audience. In terms of age I tend to lean towards an elder audience, usually from late teens to adults. Children would interpret modern day thrillers as very scary, such as The Exorcist and would then go against the age certificate laws. I think elderly people wouldn’t enjoy thrillers as much as say a young adult, so it leads me to think thrillers target a mature audience. I also think it would have to be an audience that enjoyed suspense and having their hearts pound. In terms of gender, it would be hard to say. Gender also depends on the kind of thriller. Horror Thrillers I would think more boys, but mystery thrillers I would say both. I myself don’t particularly enjoy thrillers with the exception of one or two but my friend loves them. We’re both girls, so I would argue gender doesn’t matter so much a preference and I think this shows in the movie industries advertisement. Black Swan features Natalie Portman, while Inception features Leonardo DiCaprio. They both have star appeal to both genders.
