Alfred Hitchcock is known as the "master of suspense" and a great innovator. Hismastery of suspense and of directing technique made him one of the most popular andcelebrated of film makers. In essence， the contribution of Alfred Hitchcock to the sus-pense thriller genre has been to define it so that all subsequent films in the genre willseek the standards and will be compared to the films he made. He also influenced a gen-eration or more of filmmakers who learned from his films how to manipulate material,manipulate the audience, and satisfy that audience at the same time.
Three of his films are listed on the Top Ten of the American Film Institutes topthrilling films. "Psycho", made in the year 1960, ranks number one. With his exquisitecinematographic craft, including the skillful use of camera position, angles, movement,shots, color, scary music and lighting, Hitchcock always creates suspense and tensionto shock his audience.
Hitchcock knew that the suspense is generated when the audience can see dangerhis characters cannot see, or can only suspect. He once said, "Theres no terror in thebang of the gun, only the anticipation of it. "
He produced several undisputed masterpieces in the 50s and 60s. Strangers on aTrain （1951） is a thriller with an innocent man entangled in a psychotic charmers mur-der plot. Rear Window （1954） is a tense tale of a man stuck in a wheelchair who be-lieves to have seen his neighbor kill his wife. And Notorious（1954） is a masterful spystory with Ingrid Bergrnan, Cary Grant and Claude Rains. While many critics label Ver-tigo （1958） as Hitchcocks greatest film, an entrancing story with Kim Novak in adouble role, Psycho （1960） might be his most famous film. The psychological thrillerwas controversial for its violence at the time and therefore a huge box-office success. Itinspired so many imitators that it seems cliched now.
