'In Fear' [Blu ray]
(Iain De Caestecker, Alice Englert, Allen Leech, et al / Blu ray / NR / 2014 / Anchor Bay Entertainment)

Overview: Driving to a music festival in Ireland, a new couple become lost and are then set upon by a tormentor with an unknown motive.

Blu ray Verdict: Oh dear. Where do I start?! Well, yes, there are lots of plot/story holes here, for sure! Poor or no judgment on the part of our lead characters; not too likable lead characters so we don't really care what happens to them; improbable scenario of running out of gas after hours of endless circling so why don't they just backtrack to the main road/entrance and leave especially since the whole environment of a luxury hotel is seeming not too likely in this place!

The pub scene (or lack of it) just made a mess of the plot and finally, how likely is it that one person did all the carnage to so many without anyone knowing? The final scene was one of those pointless, "You'll never know." endings put in to show how clever we (writer/director) are. Done too many times before.

Yes, we know - the point was to see how people react to fear. Sorry, acting & plot more dumb than fearful.

But, the movie did set the stage for a different storyline which is as follows: The couple died somewhere along their journey (there was even a hint mentioned of an accident or near accident) and as we know they have some character flaws. So, they are now in limbo, the purgatorial eternal circle, or either through their actions or that of the more powerful controller of destinies their final destination will be one of the other two possibilities. This is a Widescreen Presentation (2.35:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the special features of:
