Audience expectations

Audience expectation
Horror thrillers tend to be very adrenaline rushing films and fast paced while also exploring horror films conventions such as fear of the unknown and supernatural beings, if the story allows for it.

You would expect the film to contain some thriller film conventions such as a stronger villainous force against a weaker protagonist, with the villain taking on a scarier role than a normal thriller villain, possibly being some sort of creature. Horror thrillers may also overlap in conventions with psychological thrillers, in the sense that conflict is raised through emotional and mental states with the added physical conflict.

In horror thrillers you would expect to see some sought of gore depending on the age rating this could include the torture of victims along with the regular thriller conventions.
