On the article 'Why thrillers thrive' we find that we don't fully agree or disagree with what is being said, although good points are raised, some things that are said are a little off point for example "the horror film will die" which is a very unrealistic accusation. They seem to be biased on the side of the thriller film genre but by this are unfairly casting out horror which is a very popular and grasping genre alone and will for the rest of time will attract it's large audience to the cinema.
I think this article is trying to put down the horror genre as part of promoting the thriller genre, by this we disagree with their method although some of the points they raise are very interesting for example "Our nature is such that we must have these shake-ups." Yes thriller delivers this but so does horror, in fact horror delivers a much stronger and intense thrill.
I think the person who wrote this article has a serious grudge against horrors, in this they are trying to make their readers think it is a bad and sick thing to engage in which is indeed wrong.
The article itself is interesting and true but they go a little off course when they bring in horror, as it delivers the safe thrill that they are trying to promote. We disagree with how they've belittled the horror genre, which is a bit of a letdown.
