According to Alanna Thain, suspense films allow us to experience the relation between two bodies: that of the film and that of the viewer. Bodies in Suspense presents a powerful new way to think through post-digital cinema and the affective turn in critical theory, arguing that the "body in time" enables us to experience the temporal dimension of the body directly.
