"Science of Fear is s powerful message of love, loss, helplessness, denial, and pain all told in a
realistic and unapologetic way. Unlike huge box office films, this one successfully shows the
often hidden truth of mental manipulation, control, and fear through the powerful performances
of the characters. It also shows how abuse affects those around the person suffering. This film highlights a story that needs to be told. Its importance goes beyond showing the struggles by providing a message of hope for those who feel trapped. Science of Fear is well worth watching. Highly recommended."
