Fear Itself

Synopsis

Constructed entirely from existing films, the film offers a journey through fear and cinema that asks whether horror movies know us better than we know ourselves.
Encouraging viewers to interrogate a diverse range of images and sounds sampled from a hundred years of global cinema, the aim of the documentary is to change the way audiences watch horror movies for good.
