Free thrillers and suspense films
Suspense is the cheapest thing a small production can do well: it needs a situation, a clock, and somewhere to point the camera. What is here ranges from tightly made second features to the kind of psychological picture that spends ninety minutes in one house with one very bad idea.
A fair number of these were sold as something else entirely. The poster promised a monster and the film delivers a slow tightening of the screws instead — which is usually the better trade, and is usually why the picture was forgotten by everyone except the people who saw it.
