Hitchcock Pupil

Suspense is showing the bomb. You already know it's under the table.

You revere the slow tightening of the screws — wrong men, icy blondes, and a staircase shot that makes your stomach drop. You'll happily explain the difference between surprise and suspense, unprompted. Black-and-white doesn't bother you; it's the grammar of dread.
