A popular ancient spooky story Undeniably, Have You Ever Been Scared?, which marks Ambra Principato's directorial debut, is a splendidly crafted film, which believes that cinema is made by actors, costumes and sets. It is a film that crosses the surface of horror, trying to stage the obsessions and anxieties of a script ready to explode. Well, in some ways, Have You Ever Been Scared? Is a film about writing, rather than substance. A respectable key, as the sense of anguish is evident, despite the emotional involvement being relative. On the other hand, the language chosen by Principato, whose meticulous passion in designing the context we cannot fail to applaud, slowly grows towards the final epilogue, freeing that fear that we want to speak out, analyzing what is "the most ancient form of emotion".
