Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)80% of the pages in the book are occupied with three full length scripts (that can be downloaded freely from any script site), the little scholastic information is trivial, moreover, it is written using pompous words that made understanding difficult task for me as my native tongue is not english.
nevertheless, the book if full of good examples from old and new films.

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."
