I like those elements because they make a thriller movie be a thriller movie. The element that doesn't appeal to me is the violence. Violence may cause psychological damage to people especially if kids watch the movies. I love horror movies because I love the feeling of being scared and pankinging because of all the suspense and not knowing what is about to happen. The creepy vibes you get from horror movies are the best. The only thing I probably say I don't like about horror movies is that sometimes I can't go to sleep at night.
