"The audience thrives ion thriller, the cinema thrives on the audience, the director thrives on the cinema, and everybody is happy" - Alfred HitchcockThe article summerises what Alfred himself thinks what a thriller is and what it does to the audience. The essay gives examples of the feelings and positives in watching a thriller film ' we are safe a secure sitting in an armchair and looking and the struggle and turmoil of life through a window, as it were. Also he goes on to explain how watching thrillers are beneficial to their health 'blood pounding through the vains are highly beneficial for indigestion, gout....' This is an exampel of hitchcocks dry homour but it is known that to cry , feel terror and to laugh is actually healthy. 'and that is why the authentic 'thriller' will live and thrive and the 'horror' film with die.'
