As people living is sheltered societies, almost free of experiencing the thrill of life threatening danger, we must find a practical way to be shaken yup. The most effective way to give us the thrills we want is through the medium of film. The reasons why the genre of thriller films are so well like is because it enables us to experience danger by watching a character, who lives a life much like our and who we are made to build sympathy for, go through emotional disturbances. Also unlike theater and literature, films allowed us to actually see the dangerous things as if they were real, thanks to our developed use of special effects. however film also allows us to subconsciously feel safe and secure, making the thrill and danger more enjoyable.

Audiences enjoy thrillers as they allow us to experience the danger and suspense of life with out having to endanger ourselves. we get to watch second hand artificial thrills whilst we are safe. In order to really feel the full effects of a thriller we have to be able to feel like we are included in the action and empathize with the characters, so we feel on the edge of our seats. Even though we are safe, thrillers which are well made force our mind to subconsciously play tricks on us. Horrifying scenes that shock us and make us see the character is in danger makes the film more intense and thrilling, and even though to us it seems as though the characters are hurt, or in some cases even dead, we know that the actors are never really harmed, and it is the effect of skillful camera work and editing.
