Thrillers are not for everyone.

The original triggers of unwarranted emotions, they tend to take you on a roller coaster ride of heightened feels that some of us would rather do without.

In saying that, we keep going back for more as the greatest aspect of thrillers is that they cover a broad spectrum, often consisting of numerous overlapping sub-genres.

You get the psychological thriller, the action thriller, the crime thriller, Film-Noir and science-fiction thriller, to name a few.

Mix one or more of those with a range of heightened sensations like suspense, excitement, surprise, anticipation or anxiety, and the result keeps audiences on the edge of their seats as the plot builds towards a climax.
