To define the smaller details of films we use these terms, they differentiate different conventions and/or genres from each other.
Subgenre: A subgenre is when one main genre e.g thriller is paired with a different specific convention like psychological. These paired together will have a different effect to a pure thriller or thriller with another convention attached.
Hybrids: A hybrid is a combination of two or different genres e.g a horror-thriller. Or in the case of Shaun of the dead a romantic zombie comedy (rom, zom, com) this is a hybrid with other conventions that are not a genre on their own.
Our thriller falls under the hybrid band of these. It is a horror-thriller. We have expected conventions of both of these genres. From the thriller side we use iconography like knives and the use of an isolated and neglected house. From the world of horror we have taken the idea of a normal man turning into a madman and the use of a psychotic torture scene.
