In the 2003 thriller, A Problem with Fear, we follow Hamish (played by Paulo Costanzo), a young man struggling with his phobia of getting into cars. He leads a mundane life working as a courier when one day he meets a quirky and intriguing woman named Juliette (played by Emily Hampshire) at a coffee shop. The two quickly hit it off and Hamish agrees to give her a ride home. However, the journey doesn't go as planned, and events beyond his control lead to a devastating accident that has him questioning his own sanity.

As he tries to come to terms with the accident and the aftermath, Hamish is plagued by increasing episodes of anxiety and paranoia. He starts to receive strange messages and hires a private investigator to uncover the source of these messages. However, even the PI begins to suspect that Hamish might be losing his mind.

Meanwhile, Juliette becomes an integral part of his life, seemingly offering comfort and support through the tough times. However, as Hamish's grip on reality continues to slip, he begins to question if Juliette is everything she seems.

With its bleak and unsettling atmosphere, A Problem with Fear is an intense psychological thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Emily Hampshire is equally impressive as Juliette, providing a touch of dark comedy to the film's otherwise sinister atmosphere. Her character is enigmatic and unpredictable, keeping both Hamish and the audience guessing throughout the film.

Camille Sullivan also delivers a great performance as the private investigator tasked with investigating Hamish's condition. Her character acts as a voice of reason and attempts to ground the story in reality, but even she can't deny the increasingly bizarre events that occur.

The film's direction and cinematography add to the film's overall tone and atmosphere. The moody lighting and claustrophobic shots create a sense of unease that keeps you engaged throughout the film.
