Research into Thrillers

Definition of a thriller: Thrillers consist of fast pacing, frequent action, and heroes who must defeat the more-powerful and better-equipped villains.

An example of a classic thriller film is The Shining (1980).
This movie is considered "hauntingly chilling". It is full of long suspenseful camera work to build up the tension and keeps the viewers on the edges of their seats. The acting provided by Jack Nicholson is excellent. It is set in an old creepy and isolated mansion in Colorado, a realistic setting, where we watch the family become affected by cabin fever and ghosts. This thriller successfully builds up the sense of the unknown in whats going to happen. This keeps the viewers hooked, making it a classical and memorable thriller.
