Usually Thriller films are targeted at an audience of 18+ but Death Note has a target audience of about 12+. This once again shows how diverse the genre is and how its boundaries are being redefined all the time. This shows us that we can make a thriller that is suitable for people our age, it doesn't have to be gritty and dark. Death note is also a good example of a sub-genre within thriller, it is very supernatural orientated. The film inspires me because it has broken some of the rules of typical hollywood genres but none the less is a great film. Although it is a Japanese film it has been very popular in the US and Britain.
