Watch The Fear For Free

The Worst Film Ever

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

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/

"The Fear" is certainly flawed for what could've been a lot of fun.**SPOILERS**In order to get a better understanding of psychological aspects, student Richard, (Eddie Bowz) is assigned a group of students, Ashley, (Heather Medway) Troy, (Darin Heames) Gerald, (Antonio Lewis Todd) Mindy, (Monique Mannen) and tag-alongs Leslie, (Ann Turkel) and Vance Cooper, (Leland Howard III) to a cabin in the woods for an experiment on fear. As he begins his sessions, his Uncle Pete, (Vince Edwards) and daughter Tanya, (Anna Karin) show up to ask for a room for the weekend, and he takes them in on his sessions. As they start to overcome their fears one by one, they have an idea that an Indian statue is more than just that, and when it eventually is proved true, they all have to face their individual fears to survive.The Good News: There was a couple of things that stood out in this. Morty looks quite freaky. The actor did a good job of portraying the fact that he is a wooden dummy and so he couldn't walk or move like a normal person. We get stilted, almost comical, walking and movement but it's quite realistic and incredibly creepy the first time around. He doesn't say anything here either so his creepiness is enhanced by not having him turned into the wise-cracking killer he could've been. There is some effective moments of dread and suspense, especially the scenes inside the carnival ride. The designs on the statues around the walls, the darkness of the location, and the way their filmed make for some great moments. The first scare attempt, using a dummy and a pool did get a little jump out, even though it's pretty much expected, but the timing of the scene wins it out. The original premise is rife with potential and has some interesting set-ups possible that would lead to believe it had a chance. To bad it wasn't founded up as good as it could've.The Bad News: There really wasn't a whole lot of good things, which means that there must be a lot more negative aspects. It would take a lot of coffee to stay awake during the running time, as it's too long. There is way too much running around talking in this film, or unnecessary moments placed within that really test viewers patience. The film needed some livening up and death scenes usually do that, but this one cheats us out even more as most of the deaths don't happen on screen. Just before it gets ready to have someone done away with, the scene cuts to someone talking, then the dead body is found later and more talking happens. Without on screen deaths, we don't get any blood or gore either. These are all bloodless kills, leaving the gore-hound without that much to really invest in it. The chase scenes are only really spectacular due to the dummy, but beyond that, there really isn't much to them. They just sort of happen and pass over without scoring that much in the suspense department. So without action, without gore and without any true suspense, the film is pretty boring and hollow. The perfectly potential-filled plot is also wasted at times, as the kills come so late in the film half the viewers won't care, but also, as most of them were supposed to be based on fears, only a scarce few actually are. A really big cheat there, as that just opens up tons of different scenarios to work and explore, yet this one doesn't really do any of them.The Final Verdict: An interesting premise with a great killer spoiled by a long period of inactivity and not playing out the full of it's potential. Worth it mainly for those that like to get a little deeper into films, but advance with caution if you like a fast pace with lots of stuff going on.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence, Brief Nudity, a mild sex scene and an attempted Rape

I wasn't really expecting much from this low budget horror movie, especially considering how cheap it is to buy and the numerous negative comments on IMDb about it, but in all honesty I was pleasantly surprised by ‘The Fear'.Richard (Eddie Bowz), a psychology student, decides to conduct a group experiment in controlled fear for the purposes of his thesis. After this idea is approved by Dr. Arnold (one of two brief appearances from Wes Craven) he organises a weekend away with his `subjects' at his childhood home. Richard is haunted by nightmares which go back to his childhood, but he is unable to think of what it is that bothers him so much….and what does this wooden mannequin named Morty have to do with his fears?The first half of this movie is almost like a psychological thriller with a few unnerving parts and some eerie sequences but mainly concentrating on introducing us to the characters. Throughout the first half of movie the viewer learns more about each character as the story progresses but we are also treated to some rather interesting and occasionally dramatic moments. The second half of the film is more like a straight horror film and unfortunately loses some of its appeal due to some rather confusing sequences and unexplained happenings. The acting was fairly good from all the cast, particularly from Heather Medway who played Ashley and Darin Heames who played Troy. Heames previously played Z-Boy in ‘Night of the Demons 2' and for those who have seen that movie his character was very similar in ‘The Fear'. Also worthy of comment was the direction from Vince Robert which was of fairly good quality and created a certain dark atmosphere to the movie.It's probably not everyone's cup of tea and the ending left a lot to be desired, including the answers to many important questions but ‘The Fear' is still fairly entertaining in my opinion. There is a distinct lack of action and no real gore to speak of which is why I consider this a fairly adept thriller. My rating for ‘The Fear' – 6.5/10

This 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.
