The difference between a horror and a thriller film is how the story is portrayed by the characters on the screen, 'we have to project ourselves into their consciousness'. We feel that in a thriller we are in the scene feeling involved in every car chase, shoot-out and aggressive arguments.
Furthermore thrillers have a sense of reality where as horrors have entirely surreal scenarios of beastliness and horrible events that only exist in the most perverse of peoples imaginations.
However in a thriller it is easier to twist a viewers imagination into believing part of the action when it is viewed in a cinematic view rather than at a theatre. This is because on a screen the producers can capture more emotional and revealing shots e.g a point of view shot during intense action to make the viewer feel that they are the person that is in grave danger therefore maximizing the thrill. Where as in a theatre the viewer is only able to see snippets of the action as it is impossible to make the match on action shots seem as realistic as you can in a cinematic view.
Moreover you cannot use the different shot types that a cinematic film can use to increase the feeling of reality and thrill.
In this case horrors life on the silver screen is meeting its near end and is unable to conjure new and modern ideas where as the thriller strives in creating suspenseful and radical ideas that have a major sense of reality, keeping it's viewer "on the edge" with the ability to spontaneously turn the film inside out and upside down.
Will thrillers die out? We feel that it is less likely for a thriller to die out as it is for a horror as the thriller film tends to have numerous ideas and variety in how to portray an scenario many times, however horrors are unable to regenerate these as often and become tedious with the lack of imagination furthermore the predictability of the following scenes.
