Artist, Meredith Cole (Christine Lahti) has a few problems. In addition to suffering from acute agoraphobia, her husband has left her and threatened to take their young son. A virtual prisoner in her large, rural home, Meredith struggles to overcome her debilitating fear of the outside world.
Meredith takes in a new boarder named Jane (Jennifer Rubin) who seems perfect. Alas, things take a turn when Jane's "brother" Pete (Dylan McDermott) arrives for a visit. This bodes ill, since we've already been shown an example of Pete committing a heinous act!
As time goes on, Meredith learns that she's not the greatest judge of character, all leading to a life and death situation.
THE FEAR INSIDE is a made-for-TV thriller that is the basic template for the future, superior film, RESTRAINT. Still, it's suspenseful enough in its own right, and McDermott is a serviceable psychopath.
Worth a watch...
