Featured reviews
The acting is sub-par, and its really sad because it was a movie that could've been up there, but it's not even as good as "Truth or Dare" and even "Smile" was more interesting.
I guess if you have a phobia some scenes might be uncomfortable for you, but otherwise it's not scary in the slightest. There's some twists that you don't expect, but any effect they would've had was lost in translation/the lack of effective acting.
Waste of time to watch. Spend your time on something else.
I love Robert Englund and his acting abilities. The rest of the cast let him down.
It seems to me to be a low budget movie, which is probably why I lost interest after the first 30 minutes (I did though watch it all). Well, when I say I watched it all, it was on while I facebooked and tweeted.
It's such a shame that such a great actor has resorted to this kind of movie.
If I had any piece of advice to anyone thinking of watching it is Don't.
Englund does a pretty good job here and part of me really enjoyed seeing a more sympathetic Anders, but the lack of a cold, calculating Anders willing to achieve results by putting lives in jeopardy was what made the web series so much fun. He wasn't necessarily a sadist, but this posed a good question as to what would happen when things went south and the man in charge is already willing to put people in danger to forge new ground. In a way he was one of the web series's monsters.
The ending wasn't awful, but by the time the film ended I was already ready for the closing credits. There are some great special effects here and everyone tries really, really hard, but this just didn't work out and I can't help but think that this would have fared better as a web series rather than a film.

- Quotes
Dr. Andover: I was always taught you had to live with it, accept it. I watched as others fought back. Agoraphobia, nyctophobia, hydrophobia, acrophobia. There are literally thousands of classified phobias. I figured out a way to give my patients a fresh start without the inhibitions and restrictions their phobias had placed in their lives.
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the credits, a voice saying "fear never dies" can be heard.
