There are two types of fear: explicit fear which deals with fears that are clearly seen like blood and gore and implicit fear which deals with fears that are not seen or are hidden in the movie as feelings or sensing something wrong.
Invasion of the body snatchers
"The invasion of the body snatchers" has explicit fears like the pods, the people when they find out they are the pod people, being attacked, going to sleep and having to run for your life.it also has implicit fears such as a feeling that someone is different even though they don't look different, that the world is after you and at the time of release the movie is about the fear that communism will succeed and change your family and friends. An example is a quote from the film "my husband is not my husband"
The Invasion
"The invasion" released in 2007 has explicit fears like seeing the people who are turning into the "aliens", who are "aliens", what the "aliens" are doing ie capturing the people who haven't turned yet, running away from them, losing your friends and family, going to sleep and the main character trying to get her son back.
it also has implicit fears like worrying about her son changing, of the future, whats she going to do and what will happen to her son.
