Thriller and Suspense Films are types of films known to promote intense excitement, suspense, a high level of anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, anxiety, and nerve-wracking tension.
Thriller and suspense films are virtually identical and interchangeable categorisations, with similar characteristics and features.
A thrillers single-minded goal is to provide thrills and keep the audience cliff-hanging at the 'edge of their seats' as the plot builds towards a climax. Tension is normally caused when the main character is placed in a menacing situation or mystery, or an escape or dangerous mission from which escape seems impossible. The principal character is unsuspecting or unknowingly involved in a dangerous or potentially deadly situation putting them in a life threatening situation. Plots of thrillers involve characters which come into conflict with each other or with outside forces - the antagonist is sometimes abstract or shadowy.
Another closely-related genre is the horror film genre; they take the viewer through agony and fear designed to bring out tension and suspense. Murder mysteries, private eye tales, chase thrillers, women-in-danger films, courtroom and legal thrillers and erotic thrillers. Suspense-thrillers in many different shapes and forms. Thrillers focus more on the suspense and danger that is generated and keep the emphasis away from the gangster, crime, or the detective in the crime-related plot.
