Suspense is a 1913 American silent short film thriller directed by Phillips Smalley and Lois Weber. Weber also stars in the film with Valentine Paul. The Internet Movie Database lists Lon Chaney as appearing in the film in an uncredited role,[1] however this is disputed.[2] The film features an early example of a split screen shot.[3]
A print of the film is preserved at the film archive of the British Film Institute.[4]
