A Taste of Fear[1] (aliases: Something of Fear or A Bit of Fear or Something from Fear or A Touch of Fear,[2] Egyptian Arabic: شئ من الخوف, translit: Shey Min El Khouf or Shey min al-Khouf) is a 1969 Egyptian film directed by Hussein Kamal and produced by Salah Zulfikar.[3][4] The film is based on a short story by the great writer Tharwat Abaza, but the greatest credit for the political projections is the result of the modifications made by Abdel Rahman El-Abnudi to the script.[5][6][7][8]

The film was filmed in black and white, despite the possibility of filming in color, due to the spread of color films at this time, due to the director Hussein Kamal's exploitation of black and white shades in a skill that would not have been possible if it had been filmed in color.[9] The film was nominated for the Moscow International Film Festival best film award.[10] A Taste of Fear is listed in the CIFF Top 100 Egyptian films of the 20th century and Bibliotheca Alexandrina's 100 Greatest Egyptian Films.[11][12][13][14]
