Mystery/Suspense/Thri ller is always the smallest section


You ever notice that when you go to buy d.v.d's; with all of the other films you have to walk about thirty feet to see the whole section but with these types of films you just have to stand in one spot and you can see everything

Because most thrillers are other films. Most can easily be labeled as horror, sci-fi, mystery, western, film-noir, drama, action, or adventure. There are few pure thrillers.

plus how people do you know, express interest solely in thrillers? It's a smaller genre compared to action or horror.

This is true; I watch almost nothing but thrillers; you are right some can be categorized differently.

Dunno where you live at, but in my country and in all the video shops I've been to, the thriller genre section is a WHOLE row. Action and comedy are two rows.

The horror & sci-fi genres are a half-row long. Only pure horrors (Amityville Horror, The Exorcist, The Shining, etc) tend to be put in the horror section, while horrors with more suspense like Scream, The Ring, What Lies Beneath, Wolf_Creek tend to be in the thriller section.

We all live in suspense from day to day; you are the hero of your own story.
