I think a good thriller ought to bring about more discomfort and tension than a "horror" movie anyways...personally if I don't find that watching one evokes feelings like this, I do tend to think it's crap.
Saw (1&2 at least) did make me feel "uncomfortable" in parts, the bone collector, high tension, judgement night, cape fear, silence of the lambs...etc...(there's more, but there's your examples), but yeah, if a thriller doesn't have an amount of atmospheric tension, or make you really contemplate, and/or feel for the victIms/characters, I don't really think it's done it's job.
Will I sit there and bitch about it during the film? No...but that's more about the kind of person I am pertaining to film etiquette in general, not just thrillers...if I am not satisfied with it, I will comment thereafter, sure...but then and there when I'm not gonna spoil a movie that may have been enjoyed by others standards.
