Who Loves A Thriller Be It A Novel Or A Film?

I like them too. As long as the Murder Films are not too gruesome.

@DianneN Oh for the refined stuff like in the Series from before like "The Avengers" and so on.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Yes, I don't care for gruesome murder scenes. Ick!

Hello inertia, All the others in my house like Stephen King as well. One of them only buys the books in English says that the story comes across much better and I have to agree with them there at least. I love the series that had literally no violence in them yet they were crime series and I still love playing guess who did it even now. We will often watch a film or an episode of a Series like "Columbo" what a guy and guess who did it. Sometimes we would get it right others almost there. There are films that you can watch any time of the year and horrors and thrillers are good ones to take you out of bad moods or such like better than books actually I find. I love the Rank Horror Vampire Films they make me laugh sometimes.xxx

Hello inertia, Yesterday I had half written my response to this and I said to my Husband don´t take it off there but he did so I thought that I had posted and I had not. Just realized when I was checking through here. Its true that some vampire films can get to be boring some of them start off fantastic and I start watching them hoping they will continue the good theme all the way through but then sometimes it all goes a little awry and the film loses its "magic" in a way. I don´t mind them too much my Husband is a really big fan of them but even he gets fed up of the really repetitive ones with only one theme that´s been seen a thousand times. You never know they might just come up with one that will really be liked by everyone.xxx

I am actually tired of vampire films. They made too many of them. I keep looking for a good horror movie, but it seems these days they cannot make a good one. I have seen some that were alright, but nothing ever got me. I hope one day they make a horror movie that freaks me out. But from the looks of it, that won't happen.

Hello MoonG., Ghost Stories from way back make really great reading I grant you that I can easily settle into a Ghost Story quite easily but mainly I have to settle for the Films because the ones that live in this House outnumber me and my choice is outvoted most times except when they go to sleep he he he then I switch the channel and watch what I want for a while. "True Blood" is a good one yes I quite like that.

Hiya GM., Who don´t like a thriller? I used to love listening to thriller stories on the Radio but I don´t get to hear them now as I prefer them in English and that here is just not on. Hey you do the same as me almost I invent my own outcome to the story but I make it less scary and make it so the ghost gives up haunting and goes in peace to where its meant to be released from being earthbound that´s how I like it always. I do the same with all kinds of Films as well example "Braveheart" I have already forgiven William Wallace lol and let him off the hook and he´s free to go with his Princess now is´nt that nice eh?.xxx

Hello margi, Me too I like thrillers in Films I have never really been able to read them as a book except for one or two of them. I wonder why they don´t bring those old classics back and let others see them that have not seen them before? Same as classics on Television like the BBC they had Series before in black and white that were superb, majestic some of them I can still remember. Alas no one seems to remember "The Adventures Of Hiram Holliday" that is a funny classic well not too classic as it was made in the 1950´s something. Dr. Who was my favourite thriller before although really it science fiction but I thought of it as a thriller. I love Reay Tannahill´s Stories, Victoria Holt when she wrote about historical characters and Catherine Cookson´s Books too like "The Mallen Streak" "Feathers In The Fire". These are all books I would pick up time and time again. Well you already know I love Charlotte Bronté and her writings.xxx

Hello AngelE., Other week I managed to watch a thriller that did not have any blood or anything horrible in it. Pure thriller like it should be. Its not a famous film and I cannot remember the actor otherwise I could look it up and tell you well worth watching and so rare to find. Some thrillers I don´t mind but I don´t like them if there is too much of horrible things in them. I find it hard to settle into books like that. Usually I have half read them and given them away mainly. On a second hand book market you can get to read how the story goes and that´s the beauty of getting it second hand.xxx

Hello crty., Horror Movie Addict? In this house you would get on well with all the others here as they are fans of horror movies as well. You might think this strange but that Film you mention "The Exorcist" it did not really scare me and after I saw it a couple more times I started to see a funny side to it. One was the strange green colour that the girl took on although of course it was not funny for the real life girl at all I know that. It was just the way it came across. See I have seen Comedy Scenes made up about "Exorcist" and probably that´s why I find it so funny because of those brilliant comedy sketches. It can scare I grant you that.xxx

Hello neza., Just what happens to me if I start to read a book especially if its online like an e-book I start to get really interested and I have to keep looking at the clock to make sure I don´t get carried away. Much better for you to watch Films then whatever they may be. I also get carried away with Films once I nearly burned the Dinner almost just in time I got to remember oh no the dinner!!! Have recorded some Dvds whilst I could and I get to watch them when these lot are out of the house as they are not keen on romantic Films. Have a great weekend neza.,xxx
