Thriller and Suspense films are types of films that create an excitement, suspense, high level of anticipation and tension. They are deisgned to 'thrill' you and are restless and pursues and single minded goal.
The most important thing for a Thriller film is Tension, when the main character is placed in a menacing situation or mystery, dangerous mission from which their life is threatened, usually because the principal character is unsuspecting, unknowingly in a dangerous or potentially deadly situation.
Villains are usually convicts, stalkers, assassins, or psychotic individuals. A Thriller film usually has a basic theme, for example Jealousy, Love Triangle, Greed and anything leading to a death in locations including basements, houses, dimly lit urban streets and cemeteries.
