When instinct overrides logic all that is left is primal fear.

PRIMAL FEAR goes beyond the innate terror associated with our deepest fears to examine the history, psychology and science behind what scares us most.
Each fear being buried alive under six feet of suffocating dirt, the strike of a lethal snake, terrorist attacks that can occur at any time will be explored by looking at its history, the science behind it and contemporary survivor stories that relate what a near-death experience was like.

Feel your pulse quicken and your muscles tense as this fascinating programme from HISTORY brings our most frightening fears to life.
