Thriller is a genre of film, television and literature which often overlaps with other genres. They are fast-pacing, with frequent action, and resourceful heroes who attempt to thwart and overthrow the plans of a more powerful and better equipped villain. Devices are used such as suspense, red-herrings and cliffhangers repeatedly throughout. A thriller is a villain driven plot in which he or she presents a number of obstacles which the hero must overcome. The genre is flexible and can engage the audience through rendering psychological, social and political tensions. Hitchcock said that thrillers allow the audience to "dip their toes in the cold water of fear to see what it is like".
