Watch Naked Fear For Free

Overrated and overhyped

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Hunted like an animal. Naked prey. Let me assure you, that is the good part of the movie, which was initially off to a precarious start, but Danielle De Luca came in and instantly turned it around whenever she was on the screen. Cute and with spark. The rest of the cast, well, early on I liked the Sheriff, but, okay, the lot couldn't carry a ten minute commercial.What a total letdown. At one stage, Our Heroine was doing applause-worthy well fighting back. Then, as she flees through the woods, she bumped into a hunter, and from that point onward, the movie became total total total junk. There was no point in having this victim rescued by an outside group. Perceived as just like the dumb, hapless animals as "worthless", she, naïve and vulnerable, had to conquer her foe alone, she had to overcome her fear and stand up for herself. THIS WAS DONE, but then, it really looks AS IF THE PROJECT WAS TAKEN OVER BY A SECOND TEAM and movie becomes a dumb gore-fest (badly done, I mean, gore fans wouldn't sit up - from their coffins - and notice).The stretch of the movie that is the NAKED FEAR is quite well filmed. It is exactly as the other reviewers here say it is, I would just add that the juxtapositioning of the beauty of New Mexico makes it hell in paradise.This particular movie, that last two reels of film really needs to be thrown away, and remade from there. Danielle gave a stellar performance, but it's really all for naught with this shambles of a letdown.That knife. The older boy goes into the pup tent with the knife. Why? And why would he leave it lying next to Diana? Besides facilitating the corny set-up, I mean.A near success, snatched from the jaws of victory.For how it should be done (albeit with less explicit nudity): Australian movie FAIR GAME, with Cassandra Delaney, one of The Raven's favorites.My score for the movie takes into account that Danielle De Luca is a must-see. Wow. All natural, long limbs, no tattoos, and suntan-free. Double wow.

I'll be the first to admit that the first thing to greet me when I saw a clip of this movie late on TV one night was a naked woman running through the forest. And I don't mean naked - I mean, really NAKED! Nothing was left to the imagination. I remember thinking, "What the hell kind of late-night porn movie is this?" I only found out later when I was able to pry my eyes off the beautiful body of a naked woman running through the woods that the movie was called "Naked Fear," and it wasn't a late-night soft-core porn movie on Showtime.People will have a lot of difficulty buying that last part.But I kept an open mind and gave "Naked Fear" the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't late-night soft-core porn. It is, however, one step above it, though, and that is the fact that the movie is a very cheap, but occasionally very gripping low-budget exploitation thriller. And there is a plot in addition to the needless titillation; the movie does make an attempt to tell a story."Naked Fear" is loosely based on the crimes of the real-life Alaskan serial killer Robert Hansen, who during the 1970s would kidnap young women (mostly prostitutes), dump them into the Alaskan wilderness, and then hunt them down and kill them for sport. The film also takes inspirational cues from the famous 1924 short story "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell. In this low-budget film directed by a man (obviously), Thom Eberhardt, and written by a - wait for it - woman, Christine Vasquez - Diana Kelper (Danielle De Luca) is a young woman traveling across the country in the hopes of making it as a dancer.She stops off in a small Midwestern town where hunting is a popular pastime. It also turns out that in this town, there have been a string of disappearances involving young women, which may or may not be the work of a serial killer. But because most of these young women were prostitutes, the police don't really take the disappearances seriously enough to investigate further.Because Diane has little in the way of cash and little other recourse, she is forced to take a job as a stripper at a seedy strip club. One night, she makes the mistake of conversing with a smooth-talking stranger and the next thing she knows, she's waking up in the woods completely naked. She learns that the man who picked her up in the bar the night before, Colin Mandel (J.D. Garfield), is a serial killer who likes to dump naked women in the wilderness, and then hunt them down and kill them for sport, and she will soon have to call upon her most primal instincts if she wants to survive. It also doesn't help matters much that Mandel also works for the sheriff's department and is actually a highly respected sheriff's officer. Meanwhile, a determined deputy named Dwight Terry (Arron Shiver) investigates Diane's mysterious disappearance much to the protests of his superior Tom Benike (Joe Mantegna)."Naked Fear," despite its budget limitations and exploitative values, is occasionally a very gripping and very suspenseful film. I don't imagine anyone going into this movie for a thought-provoking plot that muses on the philosophy of men hunting other human beings for sport. You also won't get stellar acting performances here, but I will sing a few praises for the plucky young heroine in this movie that is Danielle De Luca.Beautiful De Luca is a virtually unknown actress, yet despite her limited acting abilities (she may very well have been cast here due to her looks and nothing else), you do have to give her just due for baring it all in this picture. There's a good 20-minute stretch of "Naked Fear" where she is completely in the nude, and nothing is merely suggested or left to the viewer's imagination or covered up by conveniently placed objects. I have no idea when this was filmed but if the season was right, then De Luca must be given credit for braving the elements in her birthday suit and not much else. And there is no doubt that she has the battle scars to prove her experiences. Other than her brave and daring performance here, there isn't really anything else I can imagine recommending this flick for, unless you really want to see her in the buff for 20 minutes."Naked Fear" also has a disappointing ending, considering everything Diana goes through, and makes the film appear even cheaper than it actually is. The ending, to me, is just totally unrealistic for what was initially presented to us in the beginning. It seems as if, to me, anyway, that the filmmakers may have stolen the ending from a completely different movie and tacked it onto this one.Since "Naked Fear" is a lot better than it initially appears at the outset, I'm giving it a fair rating here.5/10

It's a difficult film to judge because it's a cheaply made story of a pretty young woman kidnapped by a lunatic and set free, naked, in the wilds of New Mexico to be hunted down like any other prey. It's a familiar enough story. "Run of the Arrow," "The Naked Prey," "Run For the Sun," and "The Most Dangerous Game" come to mind, though the published versions reach back farther than that. Come to think of it, it's almost time for another crack at it, isn't it? But, despite its meager budget, its use of non-actors in all the important roles, and the general sloppiness of its construction, it has odd moments in which someone -- the writer or the director -- managed to transcend the mundane foundations of the narrative.I'll give two examples of their NOT doing anything new with the story and one example of at least some slight evidence of imagination.In all dumb horror movies, there is an axiom. The dead body must come back to life. To be truly effective it must come LEAPING back to life. Okay. Danielle De Luca, naked and exhausted, climbs the scaly face of a bluff and disappears over the corniche. The maniac, J. D. Garfield, slings his rifle and climbs after her. Just as he is about to reach the top, she rises above him, holding a boulder over her head, shouts something like, "Eff YOU, you effing effer!", and smashes the rock on his head. He tumbles to the road below in a shower of stones and lies there, his rifle at some distance. Is he dead? Is he even out of the picture? Are you kidding? Of course the sensible thing for De Luca to have done was to slide down the face of the cliff, grab the rifle, and pump a few rounds into his head but, given the dead-body-lives prerequisite, I don't know for sure that that would have stopped him. It hardly slows him down later when she bites off his ear and stabs him. And when she runs him over, she had to do it twice to get the job done. (These lunatics are hard to snuff.) Example number two of thoughtlessness in the narrative. At the very end, ten months after she's escaped from the hospital (with at least one compound fracture and untold hollow organ injuries), we see a De Luca more attractive than ever as a prostitute picked up by an agreeable trick. He stops the car in a dark lot and turns to her with a big grin. But she pulls a pistol and puts it to his forehead. "S****," he says in a resigned tone before she blows his brains out the window. She walks off with a satisfied smile into the night. The scene provides a bloody but implausible ending, unless you hate men. What an improvement it would have been, while retaining the same message, if the scene had shown us De Luca moping over a drink in a bar, being approached by a man, then moving away with a horribly pained expression on her face. The wounds she's suffered will never heal.Now I've gone on for so long with the two lousy examples that I've almost forgotten the good one I'd intended to describe. Yes. It comes gliding back to mind. After De Luca's pursuit through the wilderness, she steals a Volkswagen bus from a couple of drunken, wisecracking teen-aged boys. She manages to drive into the city before finally collapsing behind the wheel. But instead of the speeding van smashing through a fence or a supermarket window, it slows down and rolls to a stop, gently bumping against a sign post. Maybe, as a bonus point, I should add that De Luca's nudity is never really exploited either. There's nothing erotic about a naked and bruised woman stumbling awkwardly through thickets on bloody feet. The effect is that of viewing a corpse before the mortician has had a chance to pretty it up.There is one conclusive, profoundly moral message that can be drawn from this catchpenny effort. Danielle De Luca looks good naked. As Scaramouche says, "You may have lost Diana on the highway, but look, there is Aphrodite in a ditch." She's attractive enough, though she can't act any better than some kid starring in a high school play in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Nothing to be ashamed of. But why -- in the middle of this vast wilderness, not even within shouting distance of the nearest human being -- does she keep holding her hands and arms over her forbidden parts? Modesty is a virtue, true, but even virtue can be carried too far.

Going into this film I thought two things: 1. Another new take on "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell(Which is one of my favorite short fictions) 2.It would be an attempt at successful "exploitation" films of the 60's, with all the titillation, terrible acting, and fake blood that were synonymous with those films...How wrong I was.I was unaware that this was actually based on the killings of serial killer Robert Hansen, which this was very accurately based, except he was in Alaska and the film takes place in New Mexico.As far as cast and acting goes, it was rather well done. Strong plot(which isn't hard being based on actual events). The title, cover art, and synopsis would lead one to believe that this IS an attempt at an exploitation film and yes it does have the nudity to concur, though as another reviewer had added, the plot and solid acting of the lead got to a point that I didn't care she was nude and was actually yelling at the character in an already made film to "MOVE NOW" or "look behind you"(come on most of us have done it). All in all, not Oscar worthy, but a very enthralling and well rounded film. A definite 7 out of 10.
