Defining Films
Profile
The architect of suspense, who understood that cinema is not what you show but what you withhold. He made the audience complicit in transgression—we watch, we wait, we become guilty of our own desire to see.
In Their Own Words
When I eventually read Robert Bloch's novel for Psycho, I saw similar possibilities for a shocking twist, and that's why I bought it.
