What is a Thriller

A thriller's purpose it to create suspense and fear upon the audience. its meant to keep them on the edge of their seat and and completely focused on the screen. Thrillers sometimes overlap other genres, for example mysteries. This would be used for a story about a murder which could happen in real life. I personally think that more fear is created when the story is more realistic and could happen to you at any time. This factor is what makes a thriller so exiting and such an experience to watch.
