A Thriller film, can combine alot of genres. You can have horror/thriller, spy/thriller, crime/thriller etc. But mostly the codes and conventions of a Thriller are the same, no matter what kind of genre they are combined with. A thriller usually has a lot of twists, and should surprise the audience, and toy with their mind. They usually have a gloomy feel to them. When music is used it is gloomy and tension building. In thrillers there is usually alot of mirrors and stairs. For example in the film "Black Swan" directed by Darren Aronofsky, mirrors are heavily used to show the mental downfall of the main character. If a killer is involved, a lot of action happens from their POV. A thriller usually includes some flashbacks, or flashforwards. A thriller usually gives the audience something to think about.
