Absolutely Fantastic

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

My quick rating - 4,8/10. I am not sure what people on IMDb are raving about. It may have been simple and to the point, or if you want to read well into this much more then exists, then sure, it could be phenomenal. Truth is I watched a marginal horror movie that was entirely too boring for half of it. The acting was not very good to hold so much of the film being just the two people in the car. I would give my opinions of what actually could've happened but there is no way to do so without giving spoilers. Let me just say, I really don't think this movie is much more then face value but only the creators could say for sure. Maybe someone will comment on IMDb to me and tell me if my "theory" about this is correct. If not, this is just a drive around lost with some bad guy harassing you every step of the way. Might be worth viewing if you want to get in the conversation of "What ifs"

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.

A couple of friends, Tom(Iain De Caestecker) and Lucy(Alice Englert)are planning to meet friends at a music festival. They have yet to make it official that they are a couple and Tom decides to surprise Lucy by making reservations at a remote hotel to spend the night before the festival. This British road trip flick soon becomes pure torment. The young couple end up driving through a maze of country roads to get to the hotel. A relaxing getaway soon becomes a nightmare as Tom and Lucy realize they are lost. It is getter closer and closer to nightfall and the car is riding near empty.There is really no decent scenery. A one lane muddy road that keeps twisting and turning. Signs giving directions have somehow been changed thus the couple, that is hard to like, are trapped. Nothing actually scary, but an atmosphere that will fray your nerve endings.

"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.
