Fonts Ideas to portray the thriller genre

In my opinion, this first font portrays the thriller genre very well because of the scribbles edges on the sans serif capital letters.  Moreover, the emptyness of each letter makes the overall title stand out, generating more attention to the title itself.  The large 'U' and 'D' highlights where each word starts, making it easier for the viewer to differentiate the start of each word.  However, this font does not really reflect the principal subject matter of this thriller: obsessional love and passion.
 On the other hand, this font does do so. As you can see the top of the 'U' and 'I' have a heart on the end.  As well as the 'o', which has been fully replaced by a heart.  I believe this font is representative to the subject matter of this thriller. In addition, the small flick, commonly known as 'serif' has been prolonged, this gives the illusion that a person has written it, perhaps the villains/victims wrote it? 
 Contrasting the two previous fonts, this one does not follow the approapriate guidelines for a suitable font for the chosen genre. Because it is rather big and 'bubbly' in slang terms, it does not reflect what we want to demonstrate.  I have decided to analyse this font to show you what a thriller genre font should not look like.

With these fonts, I shall ask my fellow colleagues to give me positive/negative feedback on which one we prefer and think is best for our film.  Personally, I would go for the second, as the first does not check all the boxes that would make an ideal thriller font style.
