5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent and thorough book,
By Clarice Plume (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Suspense Thriller: Films in the Shadow of Alfred Hitchcock (Paperback)
Charles Derry's book is based on his 1978 dissertation on the psychological structure of suspense films. His approach is entirely thorough and engaging with two excellent sections on the anatomy of "suspense" and "thrills." His theory of the sub-genres are thought-provoking and filled with examples to illustrate his ideas. He also provides a framework of literature for his reader by summarising the ideas of others including Altan Loker's book "Film and Suspense." It is the work of a writer that gives so much, it is incisive and an excellent book.
