A thriller is a film in which the audience feels thrilled whilst viewing. Thriller's often contain violence and action. They also have tendencies to contain suspense and tension to create fear in the audience. Many thriller movies can use very complex story lines to keep the viewer both interested and confused. This is because when people become confused it can often create fear. this can be seen in the recent movie Inception which according to imdb is the third best thriller movie to date. However in some cases simple story lines can be used with pure violence and gore to scare the viewers. these are more typically movies such as Jaws which uses practically just blood guts and suspension to create a sense of fear which can be reflected in the viewers response.
Thrillers also use 'creepy' music to spook the audience such as the common Jaws theme tune.This can happen in many thrillers and some such as the birds which uses this musical effect in the opening credits to get the viewers ready for the film as seen in the clip bellow.
The music can also add to the suspense and tension and then confuse the audience by nothing happening. This is used in many movies and is a great way of scaring the audience without anything actually happening.
