      Audience Member Such a cool concept. It doesn't take full advantage of its promise, but considering it's a horror B-Movie from the early 90s, it does a pretty commendable job with its resources. But I mean really, a threat that uses your worst fears against you... this is ripe for a reboot! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/03/21 Full Review Audience Member The concept of fear being brought to a reality is commendable and so is the actual design behind the antagonist. Yet, with writing that is unclear, poor scare tactics and other dated elements, the movie rarely works. For my full review of The Fear (1995), check it out on this IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113043/reviews-37 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a combination of good and bad. There's some creepy ideas there and some that just are ridiculous. I remember the cover scaring me as a youngin', when cruising the horror section in the video stores. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A group of young adults went on a rehabilitation camp to cure their phobias, then an Indian wooden figure began to make their worst fears come true. It's hella campy, the quality of the film made it seem like it was shot in the 80s and the story utilized jump scare to bring in some pathetic shocks. It could be a good movie if one is really high. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched The Fear when it first came out in 95 and thought it was really good. Of course I was young which obviously clouded my judgement. As bad as I wanted to like it I just couldn't. It's quite dull with an extremely lagging storyline. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member When I first saw this movie, I was very young. I had to have been at least eight or nine. Back then I was terrified, but watching it as an adult is definitely not the same. I'll admit that the thought of a wooden man killing you with your fear is quite scary to think about, but the execution of the movie is downright awful. The acting, the story, the deaths... it's all so cheesy. Not only that, but the movie digresses from the main point (being killed by your worst fear) so much that it's hard to follow at times. It truly jumps the shark on so many different levels - I'm your sister, no I'm actually your mother, I killed your mother after I had sex with her, your dad helped me bury her, you're the reason she's dead, yadda yadda yadda. It's all too much to even grasp when you're trying to watch horror. Leave those plot devices to dramas or even mystery movies, because we don't want to see them in a cheap thriller.

      Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com "The Fear" doesn't come together with the psychological power Ford intends, yet it connects to in a mild way, showing more success with ideas than execution.
