Audiences

Thrillers with a different sub genre have different target audiences. psychological thrillers will be aimed at adults 25-45. these kind of films usually take a lot of concentration and understanding to watch. Memento and se7ev are good psychological thrillers. Action thrillers are targeted more at a male audience that are 18+. 'Deja vu' is a good example of a action thriller. Unlike action thrillers, romance thrillers have a more female audience that are 18+. 'He loves me, her loves me not' is a romance thriller. 'The orphanage' is a supernatural thriller, supernatural thrillers get a more female audience. this could be because children are usually used in this type of sub genre and females tend to enjoy films with children than males would. The target audience would be teenagers and young adults. Political thrillers like 'Enemy of the state' would be aimed at older people 35+.

The movie 'Friends with benefits' is a romantic comedy. The film certificate for this movie is a 15 so the target audience for this film would be teenagers and young adults 15-24. The movie stars Justin Timberlake who is a well known singer and actor, this would attract many girls to go see the film. The poster shows a divide in the shot which separates Justin Timberlake from Mila Kunis. This tells us that they aren't fully together maybe to show they are not in love or can't be. 

'Dream House' is a supernatural thriller. The age certificate for this is a PG-13 however i think the target audience will be slightly older females 24-34. Females tend to watch more supernatural thrillers because there are children in them like dream house. Daniel Craig is a well known actor however this role involved less action so he would be used to attract older women.
