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

The realism and feel of unease is done rather well, particularly in the first half of the film. And personally I think it could have worked if the movie had of concluded just after the fight toward the end... but alas no, and the movie's outcome is a bit pointless and nonsensical.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Started well but went so wrong so quickly. The first half of the film builds up tension very well with the encroaching darkness of the night combined with the claustrophobic, narrow country roads creating a real sense of primal fear. However, the events that occur around the halfway point of the film only really serve to undo the great work that came before.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

If I had to hear that awful screech of a scream one more time, I was prepared to help the antagonist finish it.

It was an interesting thriller, wasn't sure if it was a super natural flick or was going to turn out to be a gory thriller. It was neither. The suspense was there and the acting was okay, so it passed the time.

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

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.

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