Thriller 

The Thriller Genre is a different genre and most people they relate that its the same as Horror but they are very different such as in the thriller genre it's more fast paced and has more frequent action involved in the film also thrillers are based on potential real-life or sometimes real life events and monsters:

• Hostage situations,
• Home Invasion/Rape,
• Plane Crashes,
• Bank Robberies,

 They can be scary and keep you on the edge of your seat while you grip on to you popcorn and see the real life theme to the thriller movie such as north by northwest i kept my seat on for example when the main character was being chased by the crop-duster and to escape the flying menace.
