RESEARCH - Film audience

Different genres have different audiences. People prefer some movie types over other others. For example, i enjoy action movies and dislike horror. This may be the complete opposite for others. Age, gender and ethnicity play huge roles when it comes to target audiences. For example, disney movies are generally targeted for children rather than adults.

A thriller has many aspects which makes it more suitable for some people to watch rather than others. The presence of murder, abuse and various other disturbing acenes might suggest that the movie is aimed at adults rather than children. Even though gender isnt a huge aspect in the target audience for thrillers, stereotypically it would seem that male's are more interested in these types of movies rather than females.
