From this information I've been able to gather that people appear to thouroughly enjoy a Thriller containing some sort of a conspiracy (eg. The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, The Village, Signs, The Sixth Sense, Se7en) so I will strive to include this into my own piece. It is also apparent people enjoy thrillers to possess some of the aspects of Horrors without having the full set of fearmongering, bloodcurdling artillery they have but to still have a certain element of the shock factor and to be sinister and dark so I feel this may also be a useful component to add.
