Fear Itself

Charlie Lyne goes beyond dauntless with his sophomore essay movie, a pilgrimage of perils through the cinema’s most consummate ordeals

The film is constructed entirely from existing films with the exception of its opening and closing sequences, Fear Itself is a personal journey through fear and cinema that asks whether horror movies know us better than we know ourselves. Exploring the tropes and traditions of cinematic horror, the director delves deep into the human psyche in an attempt to uncover the very nature of fear itself.
