Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com The film is destined to be ignored as it bounces from one streaming service to another in the near future, and as rudimentary and familiar as this subtle scare-fest may be, part of me can’t help but think that’s frustratingly too bad. Rated: 2/4 Oct 19, 2023 Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com A pretty awful starring vehicle for the actor that she also produced, a film unlikely to produce many sparks beyond those set off by the morbidly curious. Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Sergio Pereira CBR While beautifully shot and filled with great emotional performances, In the Fire isn't quite the smart horror it presents itself to be. It falls into every generic trap imaginable and is easily one of the most predictable films of the year. Oct 28, 2023 Full Review Nestor Bentancor Nestor Cine Desde Hollywood A commendable exercise in classic, gothic-infused horror that is worth watching on the small screen. Genre fans would appreciate it, especially those blessed with a little patience. [Full Review in Spanish] Oct 19, 2023 Full Review Brian Farvour The Playlist For a movie about a sinister child unintentionally terrorizing a small town, it lacks any real suspense. Rated: C Oct 16, 2023 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Despite the title, there’s not much heat in this slow-burning horror saga, which is more tedious than suspenseful.

Fevos M Poor casting. I don't think it was well thought through. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review L H The movie could have been much more. It had an interesting plot, but predictably developed into a lame in-the-box production. Heard's performance was not very convincing, kind of like her testimony on the stand during THE trial. However, the other performances were good, especially the young boy. I wish they'd used a little more imagination and created a better ending. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review trent g the acting, cinematography, the score, everything was beautiful, i'm so grateful i was able to see this in theaters. such an excellent, heartbreaking, emotional, and bittersweet film. the tension between science and religion was very intense and well done. i truly haven't seen a single film like it. just simply amazing in my opinion. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Rain I Boring movie and absolutely bad acting by lead actress Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Nuggles C Great cinematography and compelling storyline. Landscapes were beautiful. A real insight into mob mentality. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review Alexander O recently watched the movie "Producer Starring" and I was extremely disappointed. The plot was weak and the acting was terrible. The movie lacked creativity and was simply dull. The only thing that stood out was the presence of the producer as the lead actor, which was a major distraction. Overall, this movie was a huge waste of time and I would not recommend it to anyone.
