2/5
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. Go to Full Review Kate Muir The Times (UK) 01/05/2015
4/5
With limited resources [Jeremy Lovering] has created a disturbingly tense and chilling scenario we can all identify with. Go to Full Review Carlos Aguilar Movie Mezzanine 03/12/2014

Despite falling into a couple inevitable conventions of the genre... In Fear's deranged ambiguity and quiet madness make for a terrifying viewing experience. Go to Full Review David Harris Spectrum Culture 11/22/2019
2/5
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. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 08/07/2019

Glenn B @Glenn1950 4d I can't believe anybody would recommend this boring movie, unless all your taste is in your mouth. I will not even give this trash a 0. Not even close to be good enough to be rated 0. See more Rich C. @Cordu0702 Feb 22 Loved this film from start to finish. Worth the watch. See more Laurie S @Karlwinters Feb 6 I actually mend shoes so this movie and I have a lot in common. It's a load of old cobblers. It's sh'ite. See more Brian M @RT45519128 Jan 5 The first half of the movie was pretty engaging, despite the characters, who, as will become clear later on, are just bad people. Then comes the big reveal and plot holes galore. It’s strange that the critic’s consensus uses the word "smart," as the gaps in logic are just plain moronic. Throughout the final 15-20 minutes or so I was just waiting for it to end. In short, terrible characters, lots of plot holes, moronic plot twist. See more Stephen G @patient1 Oct 12 Euro Forest at night look terrifying, and I thought they were just spooky in daylight. Our actors are portraying their characters with great effectiveness, I'm having trouble not wishing them a terrifyingly horrible adventure. It just got scary, I nearly dropped my drink. We've another player on the board now, unsure of his status or his true intentions for now. If your still here, then you've got to freaking be losing your mind about now. ...Sadism at its ugly worst... See more Louie L @amilou Oct 9 Omg!!! This movie is a totally REAL Nightmare!!! I haven’t sat forward on the couch with my fingernails in my mouth since Heredity!!! The brilliance of the buildup of tension, and it being soooo very real!!! I was so impressed and going to recommend to all my friends who LOVE being scary movies!!! I’m going to go on IMDB and find out everything I can re: writer, director Etc!!! This is one of the finest examples of brilliant Irish movie making that is always beyond satisfying!!! So brilliant!!! So real!!! So believable!!! So purely AWESOME!!! See more Read all reviews
