Critics Consensus

Compact and effective, In Fear offers discerning horror fans a smart and disturbing plunge into the depths of cinematic anxiety.

Read Critics Reviews

Geoffrey Macnab

Independent (UK)

In Fear is a slickly made, impressively pared-down horror/thriller but is too abstract for its own good - it is hard to feel any great emotional identification (or fear) for characters who so sketchily written.

Rated: 2/5

Kate Muir

Times (UK)

With limited resources [Jeremy Lovering] has created a disturbingly tense and chilling scenario we can all identify with.

Rated: 4/5

Movie Mezzanine

Despite falling into a couple inevitable conventions of the genre... In Fear's deranged ambiguity and quiet madness make for a terrifying viewing experience.

Rated: B

Spectrum Culture

When the evil finally steps out of the dark, that eerie feeling completely dissipates, leaving a poorly made film with a gossamer-thin premise without its best and only weapon.

Rated: 2/5

Overbaked and underwhelming.

Way Too Indie

In Fear is good at creating anxiety, but fails to sustain it successfully.

By the end you'll probably feel just as lost, none the wiser and wish you'd opted for going on that camping trip you've been putting off for years. Absolutely incomprehensible in its execution, yet compelling enough to waste 90 minutes on; without feeling the urge to demand life to recompense you for all the wrong decisions you made that led you to watch whatever.. THIS is.

Enjoyed film up until the last 5 minutes. The ending ruined the film for me. Wish In Fear had a better resolution.

It was OK. Good first half and then became infuriating. I just find it hard to believe that anyone would continue to drive in circles following signs to nowhere over and over again. I thought the acting was good but wish the movie had ended sooner and with more purpose. E.g. cut out half an hour of driving in the middle, have the characters put up more of a fight, and then create some sort of reasonable conclusion.

This was an effective low budget thriller similar to Blair Witch Project in some ways. Pacing and credibility of events is off at times, and the 2 leads weren't exactly endearing characters, but otherwise worth watching.

Don't believe the poster quotes. It's pointless.
