The Fear (1966)

West of Thebes, Lake Copais, in Boeotia, Greece. As sweet wine and vile passions numb his deep-seated emotional pain, Dimitros Kanalis, a despotic landowner and failed paterfamilias, returns home after yet another night of debauchery. In anticipation of the wheat harvest and the arrival of Anna, his sophisticated daughter from a second marriage, Dimitros goes about his demanding daily activities in the fields, unbeknownst to him that insatiable carnal desires paired with pent-up sexual frustration have clouded the mind of his social outcast son, Anestis. And, suddenly, timid Chrysa, Dimitros' foster daughter and religious deaf-mute, goes missing. As shocking secrets come to light and liberating truths remain hidden behind closed doors, a monster is on the loose. But fear is a ferocious, untameable beast gnawing at sinners day and night. Where is Chrysa? Does anyone know what has happened to the poor girl?
