The genre of thriller is a very small one. Broadening between action and horror. Films such as Saw is seen as a thriller by alot of people and critics but it is actually of the horror genre as it has detailed explicit scenes which are usually left out of thriller movies although maybe still playing a part in the films. E.g in Saw there is a scene where A man is chained to the wall and out of desperation cuts his own foot off. This is shown clearly in the film where as the same thing may happen in a thriller but they would leave out the gory, distasteful, bloody scene.
The actual definition of a Thriller as approved from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/THRILLER
a work of fiction or drama designed to hold the interest by the use of a high degree of intrigue, adventure, or suspense
Obviously this isnt very detailed but i hope i have expand on it a bit more.
