...suspense Later, Robert's desire to connect with another human being, an infected survivor named Ruth, leads to his downfall. Price is terrific in the film, but this isn't the larger-than-life Price of the Dr Phibes films or Theater of Blood (1973). On the contrary, this is a more naturalistic Price.

2008-08-17 15:22:00 by Ed Howard in Only The Cinema
...suspense and growing dread that suffuse the film emanate, not so much from the admittedly effective few scenes of conventional horror, but from the tangible psychological stresses within the characters. The panther ready to burst out and devour one's lover is an obvious metaphor for restrained sexual passion, a strain that is writ large right...

...suspense its the evil in the air. Gael Garcia Bernal is a hauntingly empty soul who reemerges into the life of minister William Hurt as a long forgotten son. Great performances all around, especially Paul Dano and Pell James, but its Hurt that surprised me the most. For some reason post 80s, Hurt likes to ham it up (see The Village , Lost in...

Alfred Hitchcock's Movie Babies

...suspense, the late Alfred Hitchcock, still casts a long shadow across the Hollywood thriller and horror genres. Several filmmakers over the last quarter century have been dubbed "the new Hitchcock" by over-eager reviewers hoping to pass the torch.

...suspense, and even if the plotting sometimes fall short of its promise, director Richard Fleischer rises to the occasion to deliver one of the great B-movies The tight setting prevents Fleischer from applying most of the usual noir touches.

...suspense and comeuppance that plunges its audience straight-on into the depths of the twisted human psyche. The teenager turns out to be a modern-day Lolita, seducing Jeff into giving her the upper hand before she reveals her shocking hidden motives.
