This is the USES AND GRATIFICATIONS theory.
This theory is mainly used to study what people use media for in real life. For example, people who watch "Game of Thrones" might watch it for Entertainment and Diversion, to escape from real life for a while. However, people who watched something like "Planet Earth" would have watched it for Surveillance and Information.
We think that our Thriller would come under Entertainment, as it is entirely fictional and people that enjoy might like to watch it a few times, meaning that they think it helps them to forget everyday life for a while.
