this meta-horror... nails the contradictory mindset of the horror viewer, while hilariously double-, triple- and quadruple-bluffing the reality effects that lovers of scary movies crave to give their horror 'edge'.

Fear Inc had me shouting my safety word and reaching for the release hatch well before the exit.

Rides a razor's edge between straight horror and outright comedy that is a hard thing to do.

Film Pulse

I had a fun time with Fear Inc., despite the periodic leaps of faith it takes and the silly, all too numerous false endings it employs.

Rated: 6/10

This film was a perfect homage to the horror genre and the loyal fans. Fear, Inc. is a film that makes you laugh and gasp in turn, and it keeps you guessing from start to finish.

Rated: 8/10

The Hollywood Outsider

Fear, Inc. takes a novel idea and constructs a potential franchise as it recaptures the fun of 90's horror.

Another psychological thriller that felt like its resolution was let down. Some shoddy acting but overall, not too bad as Chris Marquette was great on screen. The first half of the film was boring and frustrating because the main character was very unlikeable and annoying. The climax was decent, but the ending was fairly predictable in a way that breaks immersion. The comedy was done well but never really made me laugh. It passes the time.

Obviously a poor mans remake of the game basically . I wouldn’t argue with people who didn’t like but I’m a sucker for this type 3.3

I understand the whole concept, or at least tried to, but, looking at the whole picture, the characters are very unlikable, annoying, and I get it that it was supposed to be the ironic part, but after all, it ended up as repetitive and shallow.

Terrible. Unrealistic. Another interesting idea that is poorly delivered. Main character very irritating and gets in the way of creating tension and therefore interest. Billed as a horror and a comedy, but is neither; always a very difficult balancing act to pull off and fails. Probably should have concentrated just on being a horror without the goofy main character. The final twist is interesting and the only unpredictable one but past caring by that point.
