I agree with the earlier suggestion of Blair Witch. I also thought of Fassbinder's Fear Eats the Soul, its pre-cursor, Sirk's All that Heaven Allows, and Haynes's remake Far From Heaven. These melodramas are great examples that go beyond the theme of fear and offer up an interesting aesthetic too.​

I'm putting together a syllabus for an introductory level philosophy class that considers fear as one of its themes. I would welcome suggestions of films, tv episodes, etc. that have something philosophically interesting to say about fear. The suggestions need not themselves be fear inducing. Feel free to reply to me off list. If there is general interest I can compile and send out all of the suggestions.

Many thanks for your help,

Elizabeth
