In a thriller the good guys usually win in the end, although not always. A thriller is supposed to keep you on the edge of your seat, but a horror move pushes you past that and scares the heck out of you. Horror usually has more gore, and the villain generally escapes to scare you in the sequel.
Horror movies usually feature 'overkill' and are usually further outside the range of probable than movies of the Thriller genre. They're usually aimed at frightening the viewer rather than exploring why a particular phenomena exists. For example, in the case of a serial killer, a Horror will feature multiple victims dying in horrific ways, with the emphasis on the victim's struggles to escape and their grisly deaths, whereas a Thriller would usually explore why the killer does it or feature the characters investigating what is going on - in other words, there'll be more emphasis on 'how' than 'why' in a Horror film and more emphasis on 'why' than 'how' in a Thriller film.
