"The Thriller: Scripting Seat-Gripping Suspense" plumbs nine-score
thrillers for recurring features that build nape-prickling,
heart-pounding suspense. Fodder for analysis embraces domestic and
foreign fare, classic and contemporary, ranging from "Ghost, Speed,
Seven, Psycho, " and "The Silence of the Lambs" to "La Femme
Nikita" and "Yogen Premonition]."
Text eschews a connecting-the-dots, painting-by-numbers
approach, in belief that formulas drain the lifeblood of creativity
and inevitably spawn a ho-hum product. That said, the eight factors
culled from the covered films constitute useful tools in the
screenwriter's arsenal.
Perhaps the best groundwork for a thriller is infiltrating the
ATF/FBI/IRA, or a brigade of arms-running mercenaries. Short of
that, watching films and reading scripts will work wonders. In that
spirit, the book debuts three feature-film scripts for critical
scrutiny: mystery thriller "Stateline"; police thriller "Cashing
Out"; supernatural thriller "Birthmarks."
