Belief would be blindly following something without critical thought.

So suspending the ability to believe would entail you being critical of plot points, etc. As you would be unwilling or unable to see the film as it is being presented

Suspending disbelief means you would be in a state of willingness to believe. So you would accept what you are being shown. You are suspending doubt

Disbelief = critical thought of the presented narrative Belief = acceptance of the presented narrative

Does that help?

Mmm... aybe. Seems to make sense. But I'm running on just a few hours' sleep in the last two days, so I'm going to let it sink in a little bit. I'll get back to you :)
