We have just read an article called "Why 'Thrillers' Thrive" which was featured in the magazine, 'Picturegoer'. From this we were able to learn how and why thrillers will live on well past horror films.
We are well aware that you watch a film to experience a live "the kind we don't experience ourselves", thriller in particular involve "disturbances which, for convenience, we call 'thrills'". It is in our nature to "have these shake ups". We are able to view another life in the safety and securing of "an armchair", whilst we watch the "struggle and turmoil of life through a window". Although we do not simply watch or spectate but "participate" in the thriller, the audience becomes very attached to the film and the characters, just by our human nature.
All the disturbing scenes in thriller and horror films are a result of skilled actors, trained animals along with skillful editing. In "The Crusades" there was no harm to any of the horses in the production, they were simply "trained to fall".
However, horrors are very different, there meaning is "extreme aversion" which provide emotional jolts. In the film industry these genre of films are referred to as no more than "unnatural excitement". So, the authentic thriller will live on and be successful, just as the horror film will die.
