Cher embraces sick horror movie (7)
I believe the answer is:
chiller
'horror movie' is the definition.
'chiller' can be an answer for 'movie' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'horror' bit.
'cher embraces sick' is the wordplay.
'embraces' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'sick' becomes 'ill' (synonyms).
'cher' enclosing 'ill' is 'CHILLER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chiller that I've seen before include "part of fridge" , "Scary book" , "Refrigerator" , "Cooling device" , "Book that arouses terror" .)
