Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
evanlmcdonald If you enjoy movies that are filled with mindless torment and pain than this is your movie! This movies is basically about a couple that have only know each other for 2 weeks and want to go on some kind of vacation and them everything goes to hell! They get stuck in back roads that are like a maze and get lost and go someone puts them through horrible crap to drive them crazy and maybe kill them while they are trying to get away to safety and get where they were originally planning to go/visitAgain this movie is garbage unless you like mindless torment and pain to helpless innocent people this is the perfect movie for you!
jomyers2010 Jeremy Lovering's directorial debut, In Fear, is a British horror/thriller set in the countryside of Northern Ireland. A young couple, Tom and Lucy, have only been together for two weeks. They are on their way to join some friends at a music festival when Tom announces he has booked a hotel for the night as a surprise. Things start to go wrong on their way to the hotel as they get lost, and strange things start to happen.Lucy, played by Alice Englert (better known to me from Beautiful Creatures, and also starred in Ginger & Rosa) was excellent in this movie. I found her presence to be entertaining, in that she managed to execute each scene perfectly. In an interview with The Telegraph, Englert admitted that filming the scenes for In Fear left her feeling a little distraught. She was quoted as saying "When the director said "cut" I started sobbing and sobbing and sobbing,' Englert says. 'It got a little bit too real. I was so distraught." check out the full article hereTom, played by Iain De Caestecker (Known for Coronation Street and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D) also put on a convincing performance as the male protagonist. He didn't stand out as much as Englert, I felt she really stole the movie to be fair.Allen Leech (since appearing in In Fear, he has been in The Imitation Game and Downton Abbey) played Max, the movie's antagonist. Leech only came into the movie about half way through it, but his character portrayal was amazing. He gave the impression that he really was a deranged psychopath. Hats off to Leech for this movie.The first half of the movie, is excellent. The low budget isn't an issue at all, as most of it is set on rural country roads. The ending had so much potential, but didn't cut the mustard for me. I felt like I was left without a definitive answer as to 'why'. Anyone that knows me and my movie tastes will know that I either need the ending to be hidden, so I have to go back and look for it or completely obvious to see. I have no time for movies that don't seem to come together with some sort of explanation. Apart from that fact, it was a relatively good movie.
lazyaceuk SOME SPOILERSI was scanning the TV pages and this film had a great write up so I thought I would give it a chance as I rate the reviewer and although it was a 'smaller' film than I expected, I was not disappointed.The IMDb fan base scores this as 5.5 at time of writing which I think is far too low.I have scored this as a 7 because for a long time I found a true chiller that had me on the edge of my seat. Far bigger budgets try to fill the screen with CGI and sudden shocks and fail because of the compromise to sell to the market.The film is produced by Big Talk whose TV CV is high end but that does not always transfer to the big screen. That this film debuted at Sundance speaks highly of its aspirations and it certainly would have made a good B flick in the days when you used to get two solid films for your money at the cinema. It was not that long ago either.The story surrounds a young man and a young woman who are heading to an isolated hotel for an engagement. The fact the engagement is celebrating two weeks rather than any thing extensive becomes clearer as the film unravels and the lack of intimate knowledge becomes key to how they react to each other, especially as the hotel is more non existent than isolated.Travelling by car our two young friends are guided on their path by a faceless person in a land rover. All seems good after the land rover departs and the couple head towards the hotel, but not long into the journey 'sat navs' and maps become pointless and the road signs seem to just direct them in circles.As darkness descends and it becomes clear that they are being targeted by one if not more unsavoury characters the couple try and escape the tight country lanes but without any joy as the car's fuel tank heads towards empty.This was the first time I had seen Alice Englert on screen and I found her performance very good adding layers of emotion and complexity in a very easy manner as the film became a roller-coaster of fear towards its conclusion. The young man is played by Iain De Caestecker who many will know as 'Fitz' from 'Agents of Shield' but who first came onto my radar in a BBC production called 'The Fades'. He can often play many of his roles with a wide mouth had a certain intensity that he kept just under the his main performance making a final scene somewhat surprising.The film has a third player whose role is well beyond spoilers so I will merely mention that Allen Leech, yes he of Downton fame, is suitably nasty and very believable.I've checked through IMDb and have no real knowledge of the writer/director's (Ian Lovering) previous work, other than an episode of Sherlock, but that really is a Moffat/Gattis affair to be honest. I just hope that Lovering did not base this on reality.The ending provides a few unexpected twists and overall, as I mentioned I think the IMDb scores are too low.Worth a watch.
barryt2014 I don't mind weird when it's done well. Take something from David Lynch or the new UK king of weird Ben Wheatley and it can be mesmerising despite unexplained parts of the plot or mysterious characters. In Fear writer and director Peter Lovering looks to have taken this approach but has got it badly wrong. Many people have already mentioned the holes in the plot, its like a blooming Swiss cheese. Just imagine you have been attacked by a crazee wearing a mask only to escape to the car and race off down the road and then hit someone. would you a( Stop and go back to check if the person is alright or b)get the hell out of there? You guessed it, our intrepid hero and heroin go back. Ridiculous. A man and a woman in a car get the lost in the Irish countryside and strange things happen apparently because of a spilt drink in a pub. The end defies description never mind explanation. Watchable though.
