- First factor that differentiates both themes of film is that a thriller is more psychological and requires more thought and explanation as to what happens within the film, whereas a horror has mainly blood and gore with careless actions of violence.
- Horror and Thriller DO overlap. Let's start with the obvious: whilst Horror can be thrilling, Thriller can be horrifying. This is never more obvious to writers than in the Supernatural Thriller and Supernatural Horror subgenres, but this does NOT mean the two are the same.
- In a thriller, "who done it" is usually known to the reader, and often times to the main character. The goal is not to solve a mystery, but rather to catch a criminal, or stop a crime from being committed. A thriller is a mystery that de-emphasises cerebration, and emphasises action and suspense
