What makes a Thriller?

thriller is a genre full of suspense and anticipation which makes the movie more enjoyable to watch. its characterised to be fast paced, frequently action packed with uses of suspense and cliffhangers which make you want to come back for more.
the reason why i am going this is because this is the genre of the movie sequence i am making with both Kayle and Rudy.

Inception

for inspiration of the thriller theme i have been watching the film inception. Inception is about a skilled extractor who has been offered the chance to regain his old life as a payment for having to do something which is seen as impossible. the thing i like about this film is the special effects that are used in parts of the film, it is something that will not be able to be used in my sequence but it is something i really admire from the film,  the part in the film which really captivates me is when everything around Cobb and Ariadne starts blowing up around them. the special effects used in this is just mesmerizing and unforgettable.
