The link above shows the type audience which viewed the film 'Gothika' at cinemas.

The gender was similar in percent being only 4% different which showed that it appealed to both genders, this could be because of the main star 'Halle Berry' being an icon for both.

The most popular age for the film was again 15-24 with the class being C1 which is lower middle class.

The link above shows the statistics of the audience at cinemas for Saw the first of many sequels.

It showed us that the majority of the audience was male as only 33% were female, as there is a theme of gore throughout and no well-known stars are in it that the women can relate to.

Again the most popular age range is 15-24 but this time being a different class of AB which is upper and middle class.

The link above explains the the majority audience who went to see the thriller film 'Scream 3' as there was no sources to show us the results for the first one.

The most popular gender was male with 58% of them viewing it compared to 42% of women. The age range which occurred the most was again 15-24 with a high of 69% compared to only 3% of over 45's. The most popular class was C1 and the rest of them being fairly even as it is a well known film sequel.

Overall from researching these four films we discovered that the target audience for thriller is age range 15-24 as in all films this has been the most popular and a mainly male attraction. The reason for more men than women viewing the films is because of men being more attracted to violence and 'gore'. The advertisements for the films will have used blood and stereotypical images of guns and knives placed in posters and used in trailers.
