For teenager Rain Burroughs (Madison Iseman), a diagnosis with schizophrenia means that every day is a struggle as she tries to figure out which of the disturbing images, harrowing voices, and traumatic feelings she experiences are real and which are all in her mind. But when Rain insists against her parents' (Katherine Heigl and Harry Connick, Jr.) advice that the shadows and cries from her neighbor's attic are hiding a dark secret, she enlists help from Caleb (Israel Broussard), the charmingly awkward new boy at school -- who himself may not be real. Written and directed by Castille Landon (After We Fell, After Ever Happy), Fear of Rain is a terrifying thriller that takes you inside Rain's mind as she confronts the frightening hallucinations of her imagination to determine whether there is real horror hiding right next door.

I really enjoyed this movie. Some reviews stated the lack of focus of the movie, with the kidnapping, mental illness, grief, etc., but I actually considered that as part of the story. The main point of the story is the difficulty of the main character in distinguishing reality from hallucination and navigating that reality successfully. Even in reality, things will occur that do not make sense to us and which we cannot phantom. The lead actress did a brilliant job of depicting the struggle of navigating reality with the added struggles of mental illness.

This is a refreshing thriller in the sense it isn't just another car chase to the death or a killer hunting it's prey. This film brings awareness to mental health struggles and how we should be kind and not quick to judge. It did a great job, as there were twists and turns that I didn't guess.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

There are a couple of ludicrous twists at the end that make it very watchable.

Variety

Middling at best in terms of suspense mechanics, and not the most perceptive treatment of mental illness you'll ever see, this nonetheless compels interest as a well-acted drama-cum-mystery...

Los Angeles Times

This is ultimately a nuanced character study, awkwardly wedged into a run-of-the-mill genre picture.

Rebecca Johnson

Film Focus Online

Fear of Rain takes the fun trope of having an unreliable narrator and a seemingly interesting plot, yet unfortunately turns it into a bland mystery-drama that once again uses mental illness as an excuse for horror.

Rated: 2/5

Paul Lê

Nightmare on Film Street

The thriller elements seem wedged in when it’s convenient, but in the grand scheme, the need for strong character work exceeds scares.

Rated: 8/10

The twists provide some surprises, but at the expense of logic and narrative coherence.
