Conclusion:

From these results we have concluded that the general public have some understanding of thriller concepts, however because people have their own opinions about what films they like, and also because there are various different thriller sub - genres, this affects peoples understanding of thrillers. For example a large majority believed thrillers to be about violence and gore, whereas these are the attributes of a horror film.
