BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

justintomovies To be honest, I had higher expectation with this movie. As I first saw the trailer of this film, I'm really intrigued that I then wanted to see it. This movie really has great setting. I did enjoyed the views in the film. Actors have potential and this movie really has darker moments which lead you in fear. Especially those scenes in part of the middle that is leading on its plot that for me, may could have been better. But still, I can say that this film can entertain. And it has some uniqueness in it that will make you terrified. This movie also is some kind of a classic horror film. So, for those horror/thriller movie fanatic this is one of those movies you should also watch.

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.

David Arnold In Fear is the story of a young, new couple who are on their way to a music festival in Ireland and decide to stay over night at a remote hotel. Unfortunately, their trip takes a serious downturn when they get lost in the maze of country roads on route. Just when they think that it couldn't get any worse, they soon realise that someone - or something - is toying with them.This actually isn't too bad of a wee film, but it unfortunately just fails to really hit the mark, especially for the 2nd half. The 1st half of the movie does well, building up a nice bit of suspense, and drawing you into the story. It does a good job at kind of making you feel claustrophobic with the small, narrow dark roads the couple travel down and also being inside a car for a lot of the time. Having driven down country roads like this myself in Scotland I know how it can feel. Also, with them being in such a remote part of the country brings it's own feel to the movie as well.The 2nd half of the movie, however, doesn't really build up on this and it kind of stalls along the way. It actually gets a wee bit repetitive at times as well with the couple seemingly just driving around in circles. The actors do a pretty good job with what they have, and along with a good couple of creepy moments, In Fear is, like I say, not too bad of a film.It's not the best movie I've seen but it's definitely not the worst either.

Martin Bradley "In Fear" is a small budget British horror movie that disappeared before anyone even knew it was out there, which is something of a pity since Jeremy Lovering's debut displays both flair and imagination and provides all the requisite chills. Tom, (Iain De Caestecker), and Lucy, (Alice Englert), arrive in Ireland for a music festival but get lost in what we tend to call 'the middle of nowhere'; easily done, I remember once driving around in circles in a part of County Donegal I really should have known. After stopping to get their bearings a mysterious man in a mask attacks Lucy and in their attempt to get away they first knock down and then pick up a stranger, ("Downton Abbey's Allen Leech, very good).There's nothing particularly original about any of this, of course, but through judicious editing and some superbly atmospheric cinematography Lovering manages to create a nightmare scenario. Maybe it's because I live in a part of Ireland where I can imagine this kind of thing happening that I found the film so effective or perhaps it's just that Lovering has managed to get so much out of so little. Either way, "In Fear" is one well worth seeking out.
