Re: Difference between suspense & thriller?
Suspense - the scene where they're riding out to the desert by the request of John Doe, for an unknown reason, but with John Doe making comments that build suspense.
Thrilling - after the box is opened and Mills has a gun pointed at John Doe's head, how the scene unfolds and ultimately ends.

This scene goes from suspenseful to more of a thriller.

Re: Difference between suspense & thriller?
sorry! does n't look like a suspense scene,
otherwise post best example scene for suspense from any movie, not only from se7en.
In Terminator 2, T‑1000 is hunting Sarah Connor & John Connor, is considered as suspense or thriller scene?
In Terminator 2, fighting sequence between T‑1000 & Terminator is considered as suspense or thriller scene?

Not a suspenseful scene? You don't know what's in the box. It's suspenseful. Somerset knows, and knows Mills will kill John Doe if Mills knows what's in the box. How's thay not suspenseful?

Re: Difference between suspense & thriller?
Somerset knows and Mills doesn't. He's thinking on his feet how to get Mills to not kill John Doe. Meanwhile John Doe starts revealing his knowledge about Mill's wife, and Mill's building confusion just adds to the suspense, up to the point where John Doe says he has a souvenir -- Mill's wife's head in the box. If you think this is just idle chit chat, then nothing will be suspenseful for you, and you need to give up on this thread.

Simply look at the actual definitions of the English words "suspense" and "thriller" (i.e. something that thrills or to thrill).
Suspense: "A state or feeling of excited or anxious uncertainty about what may happen"
Thriller: "To affect with a sudden wave of keen emotion or excitement"
So both cause excitement or are exciting but the difference is a Suspense adds "uncertainty about what may happen"

I'd love to know what constitutes as a valid response to this guy's questions. Each thread he's started has had multiple people give him valid answers and he combats each reply with it not being correct.

Re: Difference between suspense & thriller?
Suspense in being excited or anxious because you don't know what will happen.
Thriller is being excited or anxious about what is happening at that time.
I really don't have the ability to be any clearer than that.

Re: Difference between suspense & thriller?
suspense is future tense
thriller is present tense
that's what ur trying to tell to me?
means that "every movie has suspense genre, we dont know what will be the ending of the movie"
can i say "mean girls" is suspense genre movie, because i dont know what will happen in climax scene.
