Difference between suspense & thriller in movies?

Never heard of a suspense thriller?

thriller:something involving a slasher
suspense:sherlock holmes

thriller: "OH MY GOD, THAT DUDE TOTALLY CHOPPED OFF THAT CHICK'S HEAD WITH A CHAINSAW!!"

suspense: "OH MY GOD, IS THAT DUDE REALLY GOING TO CHOP OFF THAT CHICK'S HEAD WITH A CHAINSAW!?!?!?"

or something.

inception movie dont contain slasher, then why it is thriller movie?
& also sherlock holmes is comedy movie not suspense.

It's an arbitrary assigning of one of two similar terms to categorize a movie. Like dinner or supper. Or full figured or big fat fatty.

I hope this bit was a joke.

When I'm quoting Queen you can be 100% certain I'm serious.

please give relevant reply to my question.

Repeat after me:

"The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain."

That's suspense.

"Get me to the church on time."

That's a thriller.

This thread is so melodramatic

The suspense is killing me!

tell me how departed movie is treated as thriller movie,
from my point of view it look like crime l drama movie.
even IMDB categorize as thriller movie.

Now you're changing the original question by asking about crime dramas.

Action happens in a thriller. You're waiting to see if action will happen in suspense.

Suspense is the anticipation, usually over a certain extended amount of time. Thriller would be thrilling which might entail action.

Suspense would be waiting in a plane before skydiving. Thriller happens once the suspense sends and you jump.

that always helps!

I believe that I did in my first response.

who am dat

Se7en is suspense movie or thriller?,
give reason also?

Can't make that decision yourself? Also, give reason.

at least see my question properly, & then give reply.

Although mostly suspense ("what's in the box?") it can be classified as both since there was a chase sequence or two, as I recall. But ultimately, it boiled down to what/if anything would Brad Pitt's character choose to do. So it's mainly suspense.

This is not Yahoo! Answers, its a discussion board. You were told by a moderator already.

I saw your answer, and based on all the replies given to you, maybe, just maybe, you can figure this out on your own. At least just guess based on what you know about the movie and about the the difference between suspense and thriller. I'd argue that Se7en is a suspense thriller, because it contains both suspenseful and thrilling moments. It also is a combination of other genres.

that's my question, i am asking in what way se7en is suspense or thriller?,
give one example scene from se7en movie, so i can clearly understand.
