Target Audience

The genre of thriller is mainly aimed at people over the age of 15, due to some intense scenes that make the movie what it is. I have noticed that thriller films are generally either a 15 or an 18 certificate. Depending on the characters of the film, thrillers are generally aimed at the male population, as they tend to contain lots of guns, crime and dead. Girls don’t tend to be as easily amused by these things as guys are. Women tend to enjoy genres such as romance and comedy as the content is not as gruesome, as a lot milder than thriller films are. The women in thriller films tend to be either weak, innocent people of scantily clad badasses. This is to entice men more into wanting to watch them. The film ‘Sucker Punch’ (Out sometime this year) appeals in ways to both the male and female audience. The male side being the robots and barely dressed women, and the female side being the female role is either played by a very famous woman, or the character themselves act like men, but without loosing their feminine touch.
