In
Jeremy Lovering’s chilling debut, a young couple fights to survive one
night-turned-nightmare. Driving to a music festival, Tom and Lucy have plans to
stay at a countryside hotel. But with hotel signs leading them in circles and
darkness falling, they soon become lost in a maze of country roads…and the
target of an unknown tormentor. Reminiscent of vintage psychological thrillers
and bolstered by newcomers Iain De Caestecker and Alice Englert in its main
roles, In Fear plays out in real time and hinges on a claustrophobic,
unrelentingly tense visual style. Looking to shed pretense and genuinely scare
his actors, Lovering withheld the script and often concealed what was about to
happen to them. Add a dark forest, and the fear became real. Though propelled by
visceral thrills, the film transcends genre and offers a study in fear itself,
creating a cerebral fable in which fear—of the dark, of the unknown, of
ourselves—governs our nature, compels our choices, and may well seal Tom and
Lucy’s fate
