Rope (1948, Alfred Hitchcock)

• tells the story of two young , wealthy men, Brandon and phillip who strangle and murder a friend of theirs just to see if they can get away with it.
• they then invite other close friends ( including the murdered men's parents') to their apartment for a dinner party whilst, hiding the body in a chest/box in their sitting room, just to see if they can get away with it.
• this is an example of shock
• this uses dramatic irony, the body is in the box people look at it and walk around it. we know the body is in there but they do not
• the suspense is created through the body in the chest .
• what will happen ???????
