A thriller could be a novel,
play, or movie with an exciting plot, typically involving crime or espionage or
a person, thing, or experience that thrills. Thrillers heavily stimulate the
viewer's moods such as a high level of anticipation,
ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, anxiety, suspense, excitement, tension, and terror.
The first thriller movie
created was by Alfred Hitchcock (‘Safety Last’ 1923). This involved a young
all-American boy doing a daredevil stunt off the side of a skyscraper. Alfred
Hitchcock is considered as the founding forefather of the thriller genre. In
1926 Hitchcock made his early silent thriller film ‘The Lodger’, a suspenseful
Jack-the-Ripper story-based movie, which received remarkable responses, leading
it to become nominated as one of the top 10 movies of its time.

movie ‘Psycho’, which is an all-time classical thriller movie, building up
suspense and a huge adrenaline rush. The 1960’s American launched Hitchcock’s
career into the top spot of the best thriller movie director of his time.
