Chase Scenes

Thrillers often have chase scenes in them; whether it be the victim being pursued by an unknown assailant, or the bad guy being chased by the police. These are used to build tension and suspense; will the victim escape and live or be captured and die a horrible death?
Kiss the Girls has a really good chase scene; the victim is pursued through underground tunnels; she keeps looking back, but she (and therefore we) never quite see who it is after her. She finally burst from the dark into the light of the woods, but she does not know where she is. Finally she jumps from a cliff rather than be caught and returned. All the time the killer speaks to her, he is calm and reasonable.
