I'm not Scared (Io non ho paura)
Dir: Gabriele Salvatores
2003
****
I'm not Scared is thrilling and intense. It doesn't go for cheap scares either, less is definitely more and the truth is far more frightening than anything that might jump out at the camera. The performances are strong, especially from our protagonist Michele played by Giuseppe Cristiano. The intensity builds throughout the film and I found it hard not to shout at the TV at times but the rewards are there. It is also beautifully filmed, with some stunning scenery.
