It's more of a human nature thing.

It's normal for a human to feel anxious when they see people around them also being anxious, due to psychological reasons. Likewise, due to the facial expressions, the way the different characters in the story communicate, as well as the tense music in the background while watching the movie, can cause someone to naturally feel tense and suspenseful, even though they already know the ending.

It is also due to the fact that you are actually seeing the whole scene and 'first-hand' experiencing it, lets the viewer focus on his/her feelings more, unlike a book, where you have to imagine the scenes and might not get to feel the type of intense feeling the writer is trying to convey.
