Deadliest of all, “Fear” is just not scary. The jump scares don’t land, the fears themselves are all a bit silly and it feels like Taylor is holding back for the majority of the run time.

A wonderfully nasty film that revels in its lack of originality...

It is frustrating to watch Fear carelessly oscillate between creature feature, haunted house movie, and folk horror.

Rated: 1.5/5

Not everyone will want to watch another Pandemic horror movie anytime soon, particularly one that tries to contextualize this period and its zeitgeist using dreadful imagery and barely disguised metaphors.

Rated: 2.5/5

With a COVID-19 pandemic theme, the horror flick Fear is an idiotic time waster with a muddled story, tacky visual effects, and weak ideas that are ripoffs of better-made horror films. Avoid this boring junk.

Common Sense Media

Despite a diverse cast and a nifty location, this soggy, inert horror movie unfolds with a most unimaginative collection of worn-out genre staples, starting with its bland title.

Rated: 2/5

to be honest this may have won my heart for best picture of the year. the kind of movie when the butter to salt ratio on the popcorn hit just right.

This movie was terrible! It had potential to be good but the plot had so many wholes, the acting was not good, and the effects were the worst part. Cant believe I paid to see this.
