IMO, Thriller is just a word studios and filmmakers use when they don't want their film pegged as a horror movie. Like the label "horror" is so damn demeaning. This really pisses me off when they do that. Like when Silence of the Lambs won the Oscar, no one would call it a horror flick. No, it's a psychological thriller.
Thriller to me is like a racy whodunit film or a fast-paced, edge of your seat type movie, like Basic Instinct or Nick of Time.
Some films fall into different catagories, and those are often the best films. I think great movies shouldn't be easy to catagorize. I think Sixth Sense falls into several catagories, horror and drama are the two most readily identifiable.

il have to dissagree, thriller and horror arnt the same, i mean in horror movies the killer is USUALY...please not usualy something un-natural, like jason back from the dead, freddy the dream demon or that thing from jeeper creepers.
thrillers tend to have people killing people.
but horror drama would be a fitting description for 6th sense...hey i learn something new every day.
