Fear, Inc.

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.

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.".

You never know what you're going to get when you go to see an indie with no major stars (albeit a fun cameo from Scream Queens star Abigail Breslin) at a film festival (Tribeca for this one), so was pleasantly surprised when this one didn't disappoint.

Fear Inc is about a company that takes haunted houses to a more extreme level. The main character doesn't take life seriously and is always looking for an adrenaline rush, so when he finds out about the company, he calls them and things really kick off. He immediately thinks all the weird things happening to he and his friends are a part of the deal, but then things get twisty and we aren't really sure. Turns into more of a thriller from there.

Main cast is really good, mainly TV actors. And a lot of funny cameos (jump to conclusions guy from office space is in it and so funny). I saw one of the twists coming, but others got me. Definitely recommend checking out whenever it's available after the festival.

As a big fan of the genre, it doesn't take much for me to watch a horror/thriller if given a few positive reviews, but within the first few minutes, I deemed that the main character was that of another poorly played juvenile trapped inside a late twenty-something's body, this time with a hipster look, slamming beers every 10 seconds while giving us no reason to root him on through a survival horror situation. You're basically looking at a slightly larger, more intelligent yet less funny Pauly Shore unafraid of anything for his brain is apparently fried and full of cliché. As the story attempts to create suspense, the film becomes more and more predictable, desperately trying to sell scares when your girlfriend has fell asleep half way through. Sorry to be so down on this film, but one of the actors even sites the movie that it so uselessly rips off, The Game with Michael Douglas. Skip this one unless you are a huge fan of modern day B movie failures.

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.
