Fragment of Fear catapults the viewer into a dark and uncertain world of suspicion and threat. The newly remastered 1970s thriller stars David Hemmings as reformed drug addict Tim. When Tim's Aunt Lucy (Flora Robson) is murdered he tries to help the investigation, but soon finds himself the prime suspect in a nightmarish web of impossible evidence. Conspiracy theorists and horror fans alike will find something to please them in the narrative that follows, in which Tim struggles to make sense of his rapidly shrinking world and track down his aunt's real killer despite being dogged by sinister phone calls and constant reminders of his troubled past. Even his career as an author does not help him when Tim experiences the nagging terror of self-doubt. The intense story is scripted by Academy Award winner Paul Dehn and photographed by Academy Award winner Oswald Morris, leading to an emotionally sophisticated film with several twists in the tale.moreless
