Defining a Thriller
A thriller includes a lot of suspense and most of the action and happening within the film are based around the theme of suspense. The micro elements also follow this trend such as sound, editing, mise-en-scene and camerawork.
The genre thriller is often confused with horror, but there is a slight difference. A horror is made up of a lot of gore, dark images and thoughts and it usually includes one or many deaths from the beginning. Whereas a thriller builds up to a murder or crime and it does not actually happen and this is where the suspense in created.
Sub genres of a Thriller

Godfather
