Death
Horror movies almost always focus on death. Death is usually focused on in horrors since it portrays a sense of danger, whereas in thrillers death is usually not as common. Thrillers usually focus more upon the build up to death rather than the death itself.
Jumpscares
Jumpscares are very common in horrors as they are able to keep the audience wondering and on the edge of their seats. Jumpscares aim to scare, so do not often appear in thrillers.
Horrors
Horrors tend to focus on common fears of large groups of people, and portray them in a way that sends shivers down the spine of those watching. Horrors aim to keep the viewer intrigued yet scared at the same time. Most horrors also aim to keep the viewers scared even after the film has finished, to ensure the rating and opinions of the film are of a high standard. Popular horror films include Halloween, The Exorcist and Scream.
Thrillers
Thrillers generally focus on keeping a high level of tension throughout the film to keep the viewers interested rather than scaring them. Thrillers are notorious for having unexpected plot twists when the viewer least expects it, leaving them puzzled and interested yet still keeping the tension high. Popular thrillers include The Silence Of The Lambs, Taken, Seven and Panic Room.
