In Fear- review
The film makes you really get into it, as you don't know exactly who the person is who is terrorising the couple. The story of the film is very clever, as it tells you the whole plot of the story line at the beginning when 'Lucy' is in the cubical at the pubs toilets.
The films' destination was in Ireland, but was actually set in the south of England. The characters Tom (Iain De Caestecker) and Lucy (Alice Englert), who are a couple that met in a bar. They are going to a music festival and meeting their friends there, but Tom books a hotel for a night for them to stay in before they head to the festival. So they head out to the Hotel, but things start to go wrong as they follow the directions, but seem to be going round in circles. The setting of where they are driving around looks pretty within the day, but as it gets darker, you can tell that it dramatically changes and seems very creepy, which makes Tom and Lucy feel scared and therefore fear the 'darkness' as Lucy starts 'seeing things'.
One disadvantage about the film would be that at times, it's very difficult to know what is happening as the camera work is very quick and fast paced, which makes it very hard to see what's going on within the scenes. Also, the ending of the film would most likely irritate some of the audience members, as although it's clear as to what happens, they could have made a better ending, for example, seeing what happens to Lucy.
Overall, I believe that the film 'In Fear' is a very good film as it hooks the audience interest and makes people wants to watch more and know the plot about it, as the plot of the film is very different compared to other different horror films. Also you wouldn't know that the film was unscripted as the acting was very good and so it engages you more into the film, as you feel for some of the actors. I would recommend this film to anyone who likes horrors.
