Film Lens
Fear Itself is a 2015 British documentary film directed by Charlie Lyne, focusing on horror cinema. The film is unique in that it is constructed entirely from existing films, with the exception of its opening and closing sequences. This approach allows the documentary to weave together a narrative about the horror genre using clips from various films, creating a collage that reflects the evolution and impact of horror on audiences.
The film premiered on the BBC iPlayer in October 2015, marking it as the second film released on the platform after Bitter Lake. It later had its festival premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in January 2016, further establishing its presence in the film festival circuit.
