One of the way that you can tell that Sixth Sense opening sequence belongs to the Thriller genre is that the whole sequence is filmed in darkness. This darkness plays a big part in the whole of the opening sequence because even when the light is on, it's dim so we still cant see the whole of the room, something could be lurking within the dark. Also the door down in the cellar is slightly ajar this could lead to us being uneased at what is in the room behind it.
Another key factor to us knowing that it is a Thriller opening sequence is the eerie/tension building music played in the opening credits of the movie. This is common within a Thriller because the music usually builds up to something happening that will shock and/or scare the audience. This like the whole darkness feature makes us eel very agitated and uneasy towards the movie.
One final thing that helps the Sixth Sense's opening sequence to be successful is the camera shots used. Mainly because we don't see the cellar in full view at any time, it is mainly close up of certain items or the female character. This is done to make us ask questions and feel nervous as to what is in the places that we can't see. Also it does creates a lot of suspense to what could happen next in the film.
