4) location

Age


Stereo-typically  young people are most likely to use social network and to utilize modern technology however  recent studies have shows that the fastest growing demographic on twitter is the 55-64 age bracket. This demographic has grown 79% since 2012 . For Facebook it has grown by 56%. It is mow apparent that all age groups are influenced by social media and by technology.


Gender


Research shows that a lot of females watch psychological thrillers because they enjoy the story behind the events that take place in the movie  , it has also been shown females like the intellectual side of strange psychologically challenging behavior that features in psychological thrillers.


Action thrillers are dominated  by males who enjoy the intense action however some woman who might find the main (male) characters attractive  will watch , this can also happen if a male finds the female actress attractive.
