Movies are definitely a great source of entertainment. They unite people and perspectives and create a beam of suspense, imagination and fantasies in a world full of lonely and idle minds.
Every genre makes sure that it touches upon a unique set of audience’s feelings. But the genre that rattles your core, blows your mind and sometimes even wrenches your heart is Thriller.
And let us be real, the feeling of adrenaline rushing through our veins while our heart races and our mind tries to anticipate what’s to come is indeed exhilarating.
Thriller movies tend to tickle our minds and keep us on the edge of our seats till the end, making us question things that often seem to us as absolute.
