5 Question Questionnaire on Thrillers

This questionnaire is being carried out so that I can get an idea of what excites people about thrillers if they watch them and what puts them off if they don't.


Questionee: Edwin Cosco, Age 26
1)
Q)Do you like thriller movies?
A)Not particularly.


2)
Q) What don't you like about them?
A) They can be a bit slow and I'm really impatient when it comes to films.



3)
Q) How do you feel whilst watching them?
A) Irritated because the action doesn't start straight away and they always seem to have a cliche' storyline and typical characters.



4)
Q) Are there any that you have been able to enjoy?
A) No, but if I had to pick one that I extremely destest it would be Man on Fire because for about an hour there is absolutely nothing thrilling about it and I felt 100% disconnected from the whole thing.



5)
Q) What do you expect to see/feel when watching a thriller?
A) I expect to see straight foward action and then journey back to the root of the story to raise an enigma and get me thinking straight away. I would want to feel exhillerated and involved otherwise see they serve no purpose.
