Watch The Fear Inside For Free

i must have seen a different film!!

Best movie of this year hands down!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

As Good As It Gets

Okay, so this is a made for TV movie of 1992. It is based around the fear of being out of the house - called agoraphobia (sp). Christine Lahti is the lady in distress. Usually I like this lady's work, but this time around I was not only annoyed at her dramatics but tired after awhile of her screaming antics. Now you also have the good looks of Dylan McDermott as one of the home invaders. At first you really like him. And then when he begins to show his true colors, the plot thickens. McDermott gives a reasonably good performance. Unlike his supposedly wacky sister, overplayed by Jennifer Rubin. I couldn't wait for Rubin to get her uppance. She was that annoying. Both she and Lahti deserved each other. I was hoping that the two ladies would kill each other and Dylan goes free. He and the parrot that is. The house gets trashed along the way and our leading lady gets out of the house. Not surprising. This story was written by Alan Jay Gluickman and made into a screenplay by David Birke. Leon Ichaso directed this, but letting the two leading actresses go too far in my opinion.

My friend and I recently watched The Fear Inside. We thought it was a uniquely put-together movie, compelling and thrilling at the same time. Because it is a sort-of murder movie, it had a lot of heavy moments in it, but there was a bit of comic relief from the very insane killers. Christine Lahti was very convincing as the half-crazed agoraphobic who is held at the mercy of two murderers, a prisoner in her own house. She is torn, quite literally, between the fear of going out doors, and the fear inside.

Now this movie is much better than five stars. It has a good plot, good directing and features the talent of the excellent Jennifer Rubin. She gives one of the best performances I have ever seen, as usual. Such a great actress! The scene when she commits suicide is very moving. Also listen closely to the score - it's by Michel Rubini, who made the wonderful electronic score for "The Hunger" (by Tony Scott) together with Denny Jaeger! He even recycles some samples from this earlier work for this movie!

Meredith Cole(Christine Lahti) is an agoraphobic and is constantly a prisoner in her home! Since her husband leaves, she leaves an ad in the paper for someone to rent her guest bedroom. But supposedly brother and sister Jane (Jennifer Rubin) and Peter (Dylan Mcdermett)come a long and are not what they seem. Jane claims she's a vet and her brother claims he's a cop. Things go to extremes when Meredith finds a ring in their bedroom from which they murdered a rich woman and stole it from her as it is worth thousands. When Jane kidnaps and threatens to kill Meridiths son she has no choice but to come over her fear!The only good thing about the mad couple terrorizing her is probably them getting her out the house to save her son!This film is very good and has a good plot it shows that a fear is something but what extremes you have to go through to get out of it. Jennifer is great as mad Jane, she is fab at playing Jane's childish and psychotic nature.
