The thriller is not a recent invention. It probably goes back to the dawn of storytelling.
I define a thriller as a big-stakes, multiple-viewpoint novel involving suspense, action, and mystery, in which the reader doesn't know everything but usually knows more than any single character.
It's a comedy thriller, brilliantly written and it's full of twists and turns at every page. When I was reading it I was desperate to get to the end to find out what happens, it really hooks you.
Nothing is more enjoyable for me than when I'm watching a movie or a TV show and there's that sense that anything can happen. It is the most fun feeling in the world.
High risk is high adrenaline.
'Good as Gone' goes from zero to 60 in under six seconds and never lets off the gas! If you like your thrillers filled with nonstop action in a race against time through Europe's underbelly, hop in and take a ride.
Every game in this league is close, and it's going to come down to making plays at the end.
Most crime novels offer a curious kind of escape, to places that jag the nerves and worry the mind. Their rides of suspense give a good thrill, but it's rarely a comfortable one.
Action films can be like watching paint dry. You can just die in the trailer waiting for them to set up a shot, then you go out for a few minutes or an hour of endurance testing.
There has to be an element of danger, or at least an element of intrigue, for a band to be interesting.
Suspense combines curiosity with fear and pulls them up a rising slope.
I love thrillers. I've never made them, but I would say a really good thriller is my favorite kind of a movie. If I can get a really great thriller, you know.
'24' is such an iconic show.
Oh yeah, oohing and ahhing, that's how it always starts, but later there's the running and screaming.
For me, suspense is always harder and better than going for the quick, outright scare.
For thrillers, it's especially difficult to carve out a good trailer.
I really like suspenseful movies and movies that make you think.
I think the thriller aspect of this film [Fifty Shades Darker] is what excited me most.
Throat clutching from the outset! The Never List stands as a sterling example of psychological thriller writing at its best. Cancel appointments and give up on sleep. It's that kind of book.
'The Interceptor' is gritty but also entertaining. The action is great as well.
It's an exhilarating play, and you come off tired, but thrilled.
I love thrillers - 'Dead Calm' is one of my favourite movies of all time.
With 'Rachaa' I get back to action. It has very edgy action.
You get this feeling in bobsled, like a combination of excitement, anxiety, and pure nervousness, and you get that combination only very few times.
I like films that are gritty and hard-hitting and suspenseful. Thrillers, too.
