Thriller Genre
Thrillers tend to build up tension and fear. They are usually suspenseful and don't usually show the violent parts. Obviously killing is involved but most gory parts are left out. A thriller excites the audience in any way such as a car chase.Thrillers are more about pursuit, and the main character is either a hero or an anti-hero whose motivations are explored. Also thrillers usually have little or no supernatural content. An example is 'The Butterfly Effect' which is a psychological thriller.
Horror Genre
Horror makes its excitement in very particular ways, through use of graphic violence and pain. It's more about being scared than being excited like in thrillers. Horror films tend to include a lot of meaningless deaths and they are likely to contain supernatural beings. The genre is characterized by the attempt to make the viewer experience fright, fear, terror, disgust or horror. Its plots often involve the intrusion of an evil force, event, or personage, sometimes of supernatural origin, into the mundane world. A good example of a horror film is the 'Saw' series. It contains a lot of bood and gore and killings with a lot of detail.
Thriller and horror genres are quite similiar however, and some films overlap into both genres.
