It depends on the kind of thriller film. Like all genres, there are sub-genres and therefore with each sub genre there would be a different target audience
Silence of the Lambs and No Country for Old Men and they're rated R. Their target audience was probably for the young male adults. so 18 years of age
Meanwhile, there are those thrillers that are borderline horror films, such as M. Night Shyamalan films The Sixth Sense, Signs, The Village. Since they're close to horror (and horror films target teenage girls), the demographic would be slightly different... probably younger and more female based.
And then there are legal thrillers (Fracture, Runaway Jury) and crime thrillers (Memento, Se7en) that target a more mature audience... and classic thrillers (any Alfred Hitchcock film) that are rated PG, but are intended for adults. like the ones we watched in class would appeal to a wider variety of people
But if you just need a target audience for a generic thriller film... I'd have to say the young adult demographic from 18-25. That's my opinion. however again if its a political thriller like the one i analysed that could appeal to a wider audience
