SomeoneHorror vs Thriller
June 1st 2009 05:23
Can someone please explain to me the difference between a horror and a thriller? I've wondered for a while, but I went looking for The Thing at my local video store, and apparently no, it's a thriller, not a horror. There are a whole heap of movies that I would classify as horror sitting on the thriller shelves... but it seems wrong to me to have The Thing sitting right above The Usual Suspects. Don't get me wrong, they are two of my favourite movies, but it just doesn't seem right to say they are the same genre.

That's tenuous I know ... but it's the best I could come up with.
Alright then, horror movies mortify us, thrillers provide extended intrigue.
Not sure if that's any better.
