Does that make it sort-of horror? A ghost story without a ghost? Secrets don’t stay secrets long. It eliminated any element of surprise or mystery, leaving creepiness without suspense. I was surprised at how soon in the film lays the whole story out.
It’s a mystery, but so briefly no detective work is required. Into precisely what genre The Hidden Face fits is murky. Despite how it sounds, the flashing back and forth is not confusing, just tricky to write about. It’s a flashback, because the film immediately moves forward to “now” as he meets someone new and begins a relationship. Apparently baffled, miserable, in despair. Her boyfriend (who we will soon learn is a renowned orchestral conductor) watches the video. As the movie opens, we watch a “dear john” video from a young woman leaving her boyfriend with minimal explanation (but a lot of subtext). But early on, the plot became obvious, so what remained was a race against time. The overall story is standard thriller cum police drama “missing person” stuff.

Through profiles of several New Yorkers being treated for PTSD and panic disorder, THE HIDDEN FACE OF FEAR reveals the traumatic impact of 9/ll and how the brain's fear circuitry might be modified through the combined efforts of psychologists and neuroscientists.
Kandel, neuropsychiatrist David Silbersweig, and other psychologists and neuroscientists at New York University's Center for the Neuroscience of Fear and Anxiety. The film features interviews with some of the world's leading experts on fear and memory, including neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux, Nobel Prize-winning neurobiologist Eric R. THE HIDDEN FACE OF FEAR analyzes how our brains, on both a conscious and unconscious level, mentally process and physiologically respond to fear and anxiety, especially through a region of the brain called the amygdala, describes the social mechanisms of learning fear, coping strategies for dealing with fear, and explains how disorders such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be treated. Just as these emotions can spread contagiously throughout a society, they likewise spread within and can gain control of our minds.
Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, New York has become the center of an epidemic of fear and anxiety that has spread throughout the Western world.
