● About this genre
What we mean by "thriller"
On FilmLookup we file a film as a thriller when the audience's experience is shaped primarily by anticipation, dread, or moral discomfort — even when the surface category is something else.
Each guide here covers the same five surfaces: plot, cast, ending, where to watch, and similar films.
