A cool horror that that has a company that caters pure horror to paying customers who like to be scared. This off the grid company goes all out creating your ultimate nightmare. A horror movie buff and his friends sign up and have their lives changed forever.
This was awesome. It felt like The Game (1997) on steroids with some April Fool's Day (1986) mixed in brought to a whole new level. Slick writing as well which kept the film interesting. Twist after twist kept you wondering what was real and what wasn't.
Don't miss this one. It was a change from the zombies, ghosts, vampires and any found footage film.

Pretty lame. Kept waiting for this oddball horror/thriller/comedy hybrid (woulda helped to pick a genre already) to fully engage and take off. But "Fear, Inc." simply stayed stuck in a virtual holding pattern up to and including it's pointless and gruesome conclusion.
There are a few occasions where you may well find yourself going "Hey, THAT guy" and one particularly notable instance during the movie's opening sequence where you'll almost assuredly be like, "THIS chick is in this?". Yet alas, and most unfortunately, we're saddled with main characters with whom we are inspired to neither sympathize with nor care about.
The only fear here lies in the potentiality that you will choose not to heed fair warning and subject yourself to the feckless and feeble "Fear, Inc.".

I didn't have high expectations, going into the movie. But to my surprise I have to admit it was actually really good and refreshing. Very different from most modern Horror movies.
I personally, would describe the movie as being very reminiscent of "The Cabin In The Woods" movie. You never really know what's real or just part of a joke. Mostly because of the movies self-deprecating subtext.
If you watch a lot of Horror movies, as do I, you'll definitely have a blast with it. The references to other Horror movies within the movie are basically endless.

"Either way, we're white, we're rich. The cops are gonna be here any second." I liked this one...it was funny and it had so many layers. You get a lot of play on the classic horror movies and then it completely changes direction. I loved the ending...it's worth it just to get to that part. If you are any type of fan of the Slash/Com, this is worth a watch!

Where to start with this movie. Fear Inc. is a movie for horror fans that don't want to watch a horror but still crave references. I can say, personally, while I don't think it was a great movie, it was entertaining and the concept left me intrigued. Horror/Comedy is hard genre to pull off with each being the anthesis of the other, however this film made the smart movie and leaned more towards comedy, as abysmal as some of the jokes were but it at the very least kept consist with it's tone until the ending which is where a majority of my problems with the movie lie. In the end I can say, if you watched the trailer then you should already know you're not getting another horror classic for the books, but if you're just looking for something to watch some Friday night and you stumble across this, it might just be have enough to keep you hooked.

Joe Foster: The point is that this... this is a game. And out there, that's our best chance to win. Right now, in here, I mean, we're missing everything. Either way, we're white, we're rich. The cops are gonna be here any second.
