Thriller (genre)

Thriller is a broad genre of literature, film and television, usually having numerous subgenres. Thrillers heavily stimulate the viewer's moods, giving them heightened feelings of suspense, excitement, surprise, anticipation and anxiety.〔〔(Filmsite.org )〕 Successful examples of thrillers are the films of Alfred Hitchcock.〔(Filmsite.org )〕
Thrillers generally keep the audience on the "edge of their seats" as the plot builds towards a climax. The cover-up of important information from the viewer, fight and/or chase scenes are common elements.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What's Mystery, Suspense & Thriller Genre? )Literary devices such as red herrings, plot twists, and cliffhangers are used extensively.

''Homer's Odyssey'' is one of the oldest stories in the Western world and is regarded as an early prototype of the thriller. One of the earliest thriller films was Harold Lloyd's comic ''Safety Last!'' (1923), with a character performing a daredevil stunt on the side of a skyscraper.

Writer Vladimir Nabokov, in his lectures at Cornell University, said: "In an Anglo-Saxon thriller, the villain is generally punished, and the strong silent man generally wins the weak babbling girl, but there is no governmental law in Western countries to ban a story that does not comply with a fond tradition, so that we always hope that the wicked but romantic fellow will escape scot-free and the good but dull chap will be finally snubbed by the moody heroine."〔Vladimir Nabokov (1981) ''Lectures on Russian Literature'', lecture on ''Russian Writers, Censors, and Readers'', p.16〕
Thrillers may be defined by the primary mood that they elicit: fearful excitement. In short, if it "thrills", it is a thriller. As the introduction to a major anthology explains:
