On the Edge

 On the Edge

“There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.” One of film’s most distinguishing features as an art form is its capacity to build suspense, demonstrated most poignantly in the horror, thriller, and crime genres. In each of these nine short films, we feel the anticipation Hitchcock described, and we can’t help wanting more.
