300: Rise of an Empire       Awful Nice       The Face of Love       Haunt       Honey       In Fear      
Tom (Iain De Caestecker) and Lucy (Alice Englert), a young couple who just started dating, hit the road to travel to a music festival. They plan to stay at an isolated countryside hotel overnight. After spending some time at a pub, they embark on their rout, but little do they know that something or someone has been terrorizing them as they get lost and travel through back roads in the middle of the night. What or who is terrorizing them? Why are they being terrorized?
      When Roger Ebert once stated that horror doesn't need big stars because the horror itself is the star, he was right. If In Fear were to star Channing Tatum and Jennifer Lawrence it wouldn't be as effective as a horror film because you'd instantly recognize them as stars thereby diminishing the realism. Alice Englert might be somewhat recognizable from Beautiful Creatures, but fortunately she's not a huge star. Nonetheless, she and Iaian De Caestecker both give performances that seem natural----Englert definitely knows how to scream and look scared quite convincingly without going over-the-top. In Fear also boasts impressive production design that makes the most out of its creepy natural settings in the Irish back roads sans excessive reliance on CGI or shaky cam. Although it's available On-Demand and could work on the small screen, it's best to watch this on a big screen in a theater to intensify its many scares. Sparks       Special ID       Questions?
