Fear

there are many things in the world that people are afraid of and there are things that people fear!
being afraid of something means that you are aware of what it is and why it makes you afraid of it, but to fear something is completely different.
it is that feeling there is something waiting for you around that dark corner, the unexpected noise in the middle of the night, or the thought of waking up and not knowing where you are.

I have this idea for the scariest movie ever, but i really want to understand fear in its most basic and primal essence. Im not talking about going to some haunted house or reading stories of monsters. What i am looking for is that gut wrenching fear that grabs a hold of a person that stops them in their tracks with no explanation or reason. That fear that stops all brain activity so that you focus in on the most basic thoughts.
I dont want this to be a grotesque movie that scares the audience by disgusting them, or creating some scenario where a demonic presence that remains unseen terrifies people, or were a weapon wielding psycho kills a bunch of hot teens.
I want to make a movie that psychologically scares the auidence to the point were they will leave the theater in fear of something that cant be simply explained or forgotten. I want to grab each person that watches this movie and have them tremble at the thought of being scared because they will truely know what fear is.
This might be hard to grasp because throughout history scary movies have a bad guy or something that represents a bad thing. I dont want to be typical or trivial.
I want this to be raw and original, primal even. Take the most basic definition of fear and use that to incite that fear upon my viewers.

Now you may ask how i plan on making such a film. Well to answer that simply, idk? I will say that i will find a way because if its one thing i want to do, thats to make a movie that will change the game. I dont my movie to be looked at as some horror film because it might not even be one. It will be merely a look into the inner realm of the mind that most people tend to hide from and not let their mind delve into.
I dare you to let your mind wander into that dark void and see what you can find there. You might just find out that you may have a very dark side...
