Suspense (Short 1913)

Suspense (Short 1913). 10m | Not Rated

“A well made thriller and admirable directorial work from Lois Weber, considered Americau0026#39;s first female director. In ten well paced minutes one can feel the dread, the ominous air of tragedy awaiting innocence and vulnerability as the chase for survival races to a final conclusion. As with films this old itu0026#39;s truly the glimpse into the distant past that adds to the appeal and allure of these marvellous relics that have survived the ravages of time. These moving images of a bygone time are truly a time machine that give one a view into how people looked, dressed and lived so long ago. Living up to its title, u0026quot;Suspenseu0026quot; is one of the successful shorts and a wonderful example of the magic of film.”
