The Fear

I give this movie a 10 for several reasons. The acting was excellent and the movie had the effect that a horror movie is supposed to elicit. This movie brings the same emotions to mind as if and when you have ever had a clown or some other doll sitting in your bedroom at night staring at you, only in this instance it is worse because the doll is a life-sized carved wooden effigy, kind of like a cigar-store Indian. There is subtle suspense throughout the movie, and gets delightfully worse at the end. The horror in this movie is both at times psychological(is it all in their heads?)and at other times actually happening. I recommend this movie to horror movie fans and it is a prized possession in my collection.

Well, the first I time I saw the box, I skipped it... then, once number two came out, I rented both, just for fun. I was surprised when I was actually enterained by the film. The acting was good, especially by Anna Karin, Eric Weiss, and the girl who played Ashley, and the plot, while not original, was carried very well for an A-Pix film (nothing against them, though). Not sure if this was direct-to-video but if so, it's got good standards for entertainment and some parts even made me cringe slightly. Some things were predictable but it was fun to watch and I definitely don't regret renting this one. Some of the premise made some people shy away but hey, need something original, eh? From me, a 9 out of 10.

Saw this movie the other day on SciFi Channel. The thumbnail description sounded good so I figured I'd give it a shot. Bad idea. The whole premise of the movie is a monster that capitalizes on the fears of its victims. So I was immediately skeptical when the opening credits said..."Morty" effects created by... "Morty?" Are you kidding me? If this thing is supposed to exploit fear, you've got to come to the table with a name better than "Morty." Why not just call it "Bambi" or "Winnie the Pooh?" Anyway, the movie doesn't deliver on anything else, either. It's not scary, the acting sucks, the characters are completely unlikeable, and there's almost no action to speak of in the entire flick. Bottom line, I am very glad my fantasy football draft was scheduled to begin immediately after this movie ended so I could put this train-wreck of a film out of my mind for good. Definitely deserving of the lowest possible rating.

Group 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.

I 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!

This wasn't a great horror movie. You don't actually see any killings and most of them happen at the end. The story revolves around a group who go up to a cabin to face there fears. At the cabin is the leaders large wooden manaquin Morty. Morty is the only highlight of this film, he looks cool and movies cool. The rest of the movie is below average and not worth the watch. I think the makers shouldn't of made it so much a horror but tried to make it more of a thriller and try to make the watchers get scared of what's happening. I would recommend The Fear 2: Halloween Night to you because my friend says that it is much better and more killings and more of a horror type movie.
