Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Andy Steel I found this a very engaging film with some very interesting characters and an intriguing story line. It's beautifully shot; making the most of the landscape, showing off the wide open spaces of the region. There is also some nice close-up work in which we get to see many of the small creatures that inhabit the fields. All the performances were excellent; particularly Giuseppe Cristiano; he really held the thing together with some great work! Over all, I can safely say I enjoyed this one although I did find it a little predictable towards the end but I think it's still worth a look.SteelMonster's verdict: RECOMMENDEDMy score: 7.9/10You can find an expanded version of this review on my blog: Thoughts of a SteelMonster.

Troye Dchgl This is an excellent film with many factors contributing to its success.Original And Creative Story: The story is captivating, original and of great creativity. To be honest, it is really hard to find a thriller as good as this set in the relaxing environment of the countryside where there are only herbs and fields extending to seemingly nothingness.Well-organized Script: The script is amazingly written, managing to provide viewers with relaxing yet thrilling surroundings as the plot unfolds. The way of handling the emotions is balanced and masterful, especially the emphasis of the beauty of nature.Great Cinematography: The scenery is just breathtaking, as rarely do we have the chance to enjoy a crime film in such a beautiful environment. The open fields and the sky, and the variation of weather conditions are designed and inserted appropriately.Powerful Performance: The cast has done a great job handling such a script with twists and unexpected happenings, as well as transitions of emotions and states. The younger actors are more deserving of the praise, but the adult cast members are equally brilliant.All in all, "I'm Not Scared" is a rare film combining the beauty of nature, the nature of mankind, and the innocence of youth. Behind the curtain, it lies a compelling crime thriller that is never devoid of tension and thrills.

wlee08 Don't be thrown by the title: "I'm Not Scared". Or the minimalist image on the cover. It sounds like a low-budget horror. This movie is, in fact, one of the best on the shelves. It is a drama/thriller (perhaps even a family film) that develops momentum in unpredictable ways. It does have a slower pace but it definitely gets you there. The cinematography is exquisite all the way through - there is much beauty to behold. The story is innovative and feels realistic. It's like a really great short-story, powerful and concise. Don't let subtitles stand in the way of appreciating this modern classic. You really have to hand it to the Italian movies, another 10/10 goes to Bread and Tulips (but thats another story). See this movie.

wes-connors In beautiful southern Italy, 1978, sensitive ten-year-old Giuseppe Cristiano (as Michele) plays with his friends, in a hot, deserted area (likely forbidden by their parents). After some bullying games, they leave; then, young Mr. Cristiano goes back to retrieve his little sister's broken glasses. Alone, he discovers a secret door to an underground pit, containing kidnapped Mattia Di Pierro (as Filippo). At first, Cristiano is frightened by the trapped figure. But, he goes back and begins to communicate with the other boy.Living in a hole has driven young Mr. Di Pierro a little crazy. He thinks he must be dead, and Cristiano is his "guardian angel". Eventually, a terrifying secret about Di Pierro brings the kidnapped boy closer and closer to Cristiano… "I'm Not Scared" (in English) features great locations, beautifully photographed and directed by Italo Petriccione and Gabriele Salvatores. The collaborators are certainly up to their award-winning "Mediterraneo" (1991). On the down side, Mr. Salvatores allows "Io non ho paura" to lose itself in slumbering artiness when it could be both beautiful and (more) suspenseful. Not showing "learned" acting, Cristiano and the natural young performers are outstanding.******* Io non ho paura (2/8/03) Gabriele Salvatores ~ Giuseppe Cristiano, Mattia Di Pierro, Diego Abatantuono, Dino Abbrescia
