My preferred Thriller sub-genre would have to be the Action/Adventure/Fantasy genres. This is because it makes the film less about just a scare or thrill but more about the story and the actions within the film. It makes the audience feel that more is happening and makes them engage more in the story line.
Also, using examples such as Van Helsing and The Brothers Grimm, which bring fairy tales and child stories into life and make them seem realistic for once, I'd say that they allow the audience to connect with the thriller more because they're all familiar with certain characters and aspects of the film (e.g. werewolves, little red riding hood, Rapunzel)In effect, they are able to manipulate the fantasy side of it into their own unique way. Then adding in action and an adventure to the story.
With my own film opening, I think i will be able to use the Action and Adventure side of these sub-genres, as I can make it seem as though the characters are going on a thrilling adventure jam packed with action and secrets, which will really interest my audience and make them want to know what happens and how things will turn out. People enjoy going on adventures and want to feel as though they are within a film and that's what I hope to achieve with my film opening, an opportunity for my audience to go on a journey.
