Thrillers are genres of fiction that masterfully combine suspense, tension, and mystery into one thrilling tale. Effective thrillers go along at a steady pace, frequently introducing red herrings, exposing narrative twists, and providing information just when it's needed to keep the viewer interested. A "ticking clock" element, where the stakes are against a limited amount of time, is a common feature of thrillers. The thriller genre includes a variety of movies, including crime dramas, political thrillers, and technological dramas. Psychological thrillers include The Silence of the Lambs (1991) and The Shining (1980).
