This movie is seriously lacking in its one fundamental ingredient; horror. It's amazingly shocking to see what weird choices the film-makers made with this movie, that all go at the expense of the quality of the movie.The main concept and idea behind this movie certainly deserved to get a better treatment. And I also must admit that when the true horror/slasher aspects of the movie kick in, the movie is actually still quite good and enjoyable to watch. But only problem is that it isn't until the last 20 minutes or so that the movie truly becomes a slasher and 10 minutes later it has all ended again already. And what an horrible sudden ending it has. So there is actually very little to enjoy for the horror lovers among us, myself included.The movie is basically all build up and no pay off. The movie keeps dragging on with its character development and only throws in some fake scares to help you to remind that this is supposed to be an horror movie you're watching.This movie is some real wasted potential. I really liked the killer and the whole idea behind him, which makes me wish that this movie was given into the hands of someone more capable, or someone with some more experience with the genre at the very least. This was the first and only, as of yet, movie that Vincent Robert directed. Prior to this he also had very little experience with the movie making business, so why he ever was given the opportunity to directed this movie is a bit of a mystery to me. Wes Craven was in the cast, couldn't he at least had given the film-makers a couple of tips on film-making as well.The movie has a cheap video look over it but hey, that's what you get from an '90's movie. It tries to be like a good genre movie from the '80's but it basically only does this by throwing in a bunch of unlikeable persons, who are also all sleeping with each other, or at least are busy trying to.Granted that this is far from the worst thing I have ever seen but it unfortunately ain't much good, original or interesting enough either.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
... View MoreThis was one of the worst movie that I have seen. It has nothing to do with the budget. There are many very good low budget horror films. This one is just very bad hand work. Horrible script, the character motivations are hilarious, the logical gaps are huge and the story stands still for the most of the time.The direction is also bad, but not as bad as the script. It reminded me of my time in film school and one good thing about making a bad film: You learn a lot.
... View MoreGroup of college students go up to a friends wooden cabin for a weekend of romance and fun. However, they fall prey to a wooden dummy that makes there worst fears come true with deadly consequences. Not nowhere near as bad as I expected. This is decently made flick, but never generates much in the way of suspense and terror. It owes more then its fair share to Sphere however.Rated R; Rape, Sexual Situations, Violence and Profanity.
... View MoreI wasn't expecting this one to be good and I was right."The Fear" isn't the worst horror movie I have ever seen,but it surely comes close.The acting is awful,the gore is non-existent as well as suspense.Wes Craven is completely wasted here as Dr.Arnold but it is nice to see Ann Turkel from cult exploitation/horror film "Humanoids from the Deep"(1980).There are some interesting shades of Jung's philosophy floating in "The Fear",but I wouldn't recommend this film to anybody.2 out of 10-a total trash!
