What is a Thriller?

Thrillers are essentially about the battle of justice vs. injustice. Another defining characteristic is that there is often a price to be paid for the conclusion of the story. They can be defined by their Point Of View (POV), e.g. those solving a crime (detective story), those perpetuating the crime (caper), a tough guy’s POV (film noir), a psychologist (psychodrama). Each possible protagonist in such a drama can have both major and minor character roles. There are many different genre of thrillers, such as; spy thrillers, political thrillers, military thrillers, conspiracy thrillers, technothrillers, medical thrillers, legal thrillers, forensic thrillers, psychological thrillers, serial killer thrillers, romantic thrillers, supernatural thrillers, and horror thrillers.
