In Fear

An irrational and tense thriller that unnecessarily throws sticks at its own pokes with regularly occurring WFT moments and the unconvincing, and often incomprehensible, behaviour of the characters. The male lead is such an idiot at times that I began to suspect that the creators wanted the viewer to suspect whether he isn’t actually the villain. But in none of those hints, weird decisions and incompetence could I find any sensible system. The climax fizzles out quickly without any interesting outcome. Yeah, the atmosphere and the tension are effective, and the cinematography is good, but I can’t say it left me with a satisfactory impression. (03/14/2014)

For me a very unsatisfying horror film that only works with one horror element and that is atmosphere, all other elements are missing. There is no gore, no scares, not much suspense, I would have appreciated at least some significant twist. This movie is like a boiled broth with noodles but no vegetables, plus it cheerfully rips off my favorite hitchhiker film, just no... I didn't like it and I was bored. On a similar theme, Hush and The Hitcher are much better. (03/02/2014)
