There are different types of thrillers, some of the typical sub genres are psychological, crime and mystery. Thrillers tend to use fast pace and action to alter the viewers mood and give them anticipation into what could happen, the use of entrapment is the key signifier in a thriller due to the use of enclosed spaces which creates tension and suspense on the audience (an example of where entrapment is used is Panic Room).
