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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 22, 2019

Overbaked and underwhelming.

| Aug 7, 2019

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

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 21, 2019

A smart, spooky horror that wastes no time in disappearing into its shadowy, wooded depths, but ultimately ends up getting lost itself in all the darkness and gloom.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 6, 2019

A smart screenplay delivers an effective psychological thriller that wastes no time in initiating a tension that remains taut.

| Feb 28, 2019

If you've ever been lost at night on a road you've never seen before, you'll probably get a kick out of In Fear.

| Aug 24, 2015

In Fear was made for next to nothing but that is not always a virtue. After an adequate start its storyline goes precisely nowhere.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 5, 2015

A lost-in-the-woods horror predominantly set within a car's claustrophobic confines, this is certainly one of the better films of late to play with fear of the dark.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 5, 2015

Sometimes the most effective horror films come with the simplest premise and this is certainly the case with Jeremy Lovering's In Fear.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 5, 2015

In Fear finally feels disappointingly conventional, losing faith in its primitive method.

| Jan 5, 2015

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 5, 2015

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

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 5, 2015

This debut feature from 온라인카지노추천 veteran Jeremy Lovering (Sherlock) has a familiar premise, but uses it to create a good deal of tension and, indeed, fear.

| Jan 5, 2015

It's nicely constructed, with a cloying atmosphere of ever-increasing dread as darkness and torrential rain begin to fall.

| Jan 5, 2015

For the most part In Fear, largely improvised with the two leads only broadly aware of the general direction of the story, is a quiet triumph.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jan 5, 2015

For all the intense, arm-gripping fun, an all-too-familiar denouement means that, much like their car, it runs out of gas late on.

| Original Score: 6.2/10 | Jan 5, 2015

... young couple takes a very wrong turn. UK helmer Lovering tightens the screws the old-fashioned way, through atmosphere and suggestion ... (It) possesses a bleakly funny Pinter-esque quality.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 25, 2014

More coherent writing could have helped. That, or a direct line to the Auto Club.

| Original Score: C | Apr 23, 2014

A masterful example of lean 'n' mean outdoor nightmare-making that resonates with the same power of Wolf Creek, but without all the torture and gore.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 28, 2014

The actors didn't know exactly where the script was going, but their improvised dialogue moves authentically from teasing to discomfort to light jokes about something deeper.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 13, 2014
