Like with all genres of film, there are sub-genres, so the a target audience simply for 'thrillers' cannot be identified. However, more action based thrillers, such as Speed, are likely to have a younger age target audience than a psychological thriller, such as The Machinist. Also, it is likely that thrillers appeal more to men than women, unless of course the film in question is I-Robot, which many teenage girls watch, simply to see Will Smith semi-naked in a shower. They appeal more to men, probably because of the mystery involved. However, thrillers in general would appeal to anyone who likes to work things out for themselves, to follow a mystery and solve it, and who enjoy the element of surprise.
