The Riot Club

As a Drama and Thriller, 'The Riot Club' primarily elicits strong negative emotional responses. **Anger** and **Disgust** are paramount, driven by the characters' extreme entitlement, snobbery, hedonism, and the brutal violence they inflict, particularly Alistair's savage assault on Chris. **Anxiety** and **Disturbing** feelings are high due to the escalating tension, the shocking brutality of the attack, and the unsettling implications of unchecked privilege and the corruption of power. **Sadness** and **Empathy** are felt for the victims, especially Chris, and for Miles's difficult position as he is drawn into and then betrayed by the club. **Anticipation** builds as the audience awaits the club's next outrageous act and the inevitable consequences, while **Fear** arises during the violent climax.
