A thriller is a film that's true purpose is to thrill or shock you and uses different methods and conventions to excite you and doesn't try to horrify you like a horror film but doesn't much more subtly. A thriller focuses more on the plot than on the characters and this builds great tension on the film and makes the film more enjoyable to watch and to understand.
Generally, thrillers focus on plot over character, and thus emphasize intense, physical action over the character's psyche. Psychological thrillers tend to reverse this formula to a certain degree, emphasizing the characters just as much, if not more so, than the plot.
The suspense created by psychological thrillers often comes from two or more characters preying upon others minds, either by playing deceptive games with the other or by merely trying to demolish the others mental state.
