Miedo

If you ignore the bad digital graphics, terrible acting, and convoluted plot...you could craft a drinking game with this movie. Every time a character says we've gotta get outta here...and they don't, take drink. Every time a choir inexplicably starts singing Latin...take a drink. Every time a confusing new plot point is added... take a drink. Every time someone says It's not real and then acts like it is,...take a drink. Everytime a character makes a inexplicable decision that puts them in danger, and somehow moves the plot...take a drink. *warning this is not responsible drinking, and may result in alcohol poisoning.

A group of friends rent out a lodge in the middle of the woods to hangout. Little do they know they will all have to face their greatest fears. If they can't overcome them their souls will be gone forever, consumed by fear.

Should I even bother putting any effort into this review since the filmmakers clearly didn't put any effort into the film? I mean the title is fear. A like wow it's gonna be about scary stuff.

It's not just the title. The script feels like they wrote it over the weekend and didn't read it over. It's so lazy and full of contrivances, dangling treads, poorly written characters who's motivations are not clearly defined who come off both annoying and dull at the same time. Like it's hilarious how bad it is.

The only thing more hilariously bad is the performances. I'm pretty sure most of these guys have never done thus before. Well there not true, but you could have fooled me. I laughed out loud at most of the line deliveries here. And the visual effects are just awful. Like it just looks messy and unfinished. Probably explains why so many of the kills are lame as hell. Most of them are off screen and nothing you haven't seen before. Kind of like this movie.

I'll say this about Fear, it's unique that so many things could go this wrong all in one movie. I think I owe Skinamarink an apology. At least that film was experimental and ambitious while also have some good scares. Fear honestly isn't that scary. It's loud and obnoxious. In fact, other words I'd use to describe this movie are dull, stupid, and uninspired. I'm not afraid to say Fear is a frighteningly terrible movie. Don't be afraid and feel like you're missing out by not seeing it. Alright I'm done no more puns I'm afraid. Review over! Don't watch Fear.

Right on schedule, our abysmal January horror release is here as the movie Fear hit cinemas this past Friday. Horror films are continuing to flood into cinemas, and with that, we've gotten a slew of standout scary movies. But we must take the bad with the good, and conversely, there has also been an increase in junk like this. There were a total of two, maybe three scenes that offered me something incrementally above unwatchable. The opening credit sequence was nicely arranged, but I think it's safe to say that the opening credits should not be the high point of a film. None of the characters were likeable, partly because of the brash realism of the writing and partly because of the shallow acting. The story was formulaic, and the metaphor on fear manifestation was so literal that I hesitate to even call it a metaphor. Oh well, it's films like this that'll deepen my appreciation for the more refined horror projects I'm sure to see in the future.

If i could go back in time and stop myself from choosing this movie, i would. It started off strong, with an interesting plot and a storyline that was easy to follow. I liked the idea of a fear based horror movie, but it took less than 30 minutes to drift into boring nothingness. They didn't follow the original plot of the movie, the acting was all over the place, the scenes clashed, the logic was absolutely nonexistent. Adding the sudden religious savior complex at the end totally killed it for my family. It came out of nowhere and ruined the classic indie vibe. It was unoriginal and bland, and seemed to follow the classic horror sequence. Regret.

Wow, where do I start? The central idea for the story is not a bad one and could've been something decent had it not been for the terribly written dialouge, the absolutely embarrassing acting and the all around derivative feel of the film. Like honestly, how many movies did this director have to rip off in order to shoot his film? It was all terribly familiar and ground that has been covered in other, better horror films. It was almost so bad it was good to be honest. I have busted out laughing like that in quite a while. Some of the lines these actors have to deliver are startlingly bad. Nobody talks like this and nobody would react like this. I also have to mention the soundtrack for the film. It was just awful and did not fit the film one bit, it made cheesy scenes even more cheesy and it ruined what could've been tense scenes as well. Just a trash movie all around.
