To create a great thriller film you need to have a great soundtrack. The soundtrack is used to build tension and echoes the genre of the film and plays along with the action being shown in a scene. This helps emphasise what is happening on the screen which builds tension and indicates action.
However, some films may play against this idea and use a soundtrack that normally brings joy and put it into a thriller film. You're next is a great example of this as throughout this trailer you can hear that they use the song Perfect Day as their soundtrack, this plays with the audience expectation and thus increases the audiences fear.
On top of the song Perfect Day they also use other non diegetic music which resembles screaming, using this at the right timing emphasises the actions of the killer and lets you know when something is happening. You can see how important the soundtrack is for a thriller movie by watching scenes of it with no sound on, the scare factor and build up of tension are completely destroyed.
