What is the difference between a thriller and a horror?
A thriller? well as we all know a thriller is a genre of film that creates the edge of the seat tension we all desire and love while watching films, in many cases this can be scary, seat gripping films where enigmas are created almost every few scenes, however this isnt always the case. Thrillers come in a variety of subgenres, such as, action thriller, spy thriller, romantic thriller and so on, and therefore may not always be scary. They do however, always consist of a variety of questions that the audience will begin to ask them self and attempt to work out while watching, causing the audience to want to watch on.
A horror? well a horror on the other hand has one main purpose, to inflict fear upon the audience watching and keep the audience using that sense of fear that a large proportion of the population appear to desire for no particular reason. A horror will always be scary, and will always cause some form of fear or panic from the audience, well at least thats their role! Horrors also usually only end one way with death, in comparision to a thriller where its mysterious nature means the ending will never be predictable and will usually never end simply with death.
