Thriller movie
Screenwriter Eric R. Williams lists thriller movies as one of eleven super-genres in his screenwriters' taxonomy. He says that all feature length movies can be classified by these super-genres. The other ten super-genres are action, crime, fantasy, horror, romance, science fiction, slice of life, sports, war, and western.  Thrillers are commonly combined with other super-genres. The most common combinations are action thrillers  and science fiction thrillers. Thriller movies have a close relationship with horror movies. Both use suspense as they tell the story.  In plots about crime, thriller movies deal more on creating suspense than on the criminal or the detective. Common themes include, terrorism, political conspiracy and romantic triangles leading to murder.
