Over the past 80 years the thriller genre has changed a lot, this could be the result of an advance in technology and audience as well as the narrative.
Thriller films that were produced during the 1940 to the early 1970s were based on peoples actual fears. These fears were considered realistic and could happen to a citizen living at that time. An example would be 'Psycho' (1960) which was directed by Alfred Hitchcock, a notable thriller director.
The film shows a woman who wants to be with the man she loves, however she is being held back due to his current financial status. Therefore she steals money from her employer and runs away to her partner. On the way she is stops at a hotel where is killed. This is a realistic situation as it can happen to anyone, there are no monsters or other ficticious characters.
In recent thriller movies have many sub-genres such as psychological, politcal and conspiracy.
