Definition of the thriller genre

Thrillers are characterized by fast pacing, frequent action, and resourceful heroes who must thwart the plans of more-powerful and better-equipped villains. Literary devices such as suspense, red herrings, and cliffhangers are used extensively.
-Wikipedia

My definition of a thiller- A storyline with a plot full of suspense, keeps the audience on the edge of their seat + keeps the audience guessing right till the end.
