What is Suspense?

Suspense is a feeling of uncertainty about what will happen next. A way suspense can be created is by using a cliff hanger which is when the ending is uncertain keeping the audience exited, at the edge of their seat.

An example of a suspense movie is Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock which is a psychoanalytical thriller and contains a lot of suspense keeping the audience at the edge of their seats.
