Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A wicked little horror film in which nearly all of the violence takes place in your head, "In Fear" expertly builds terror out of not much more than two people driving around in a car.
Lovering keeps "In Fear" visually absorbing through unsettling close-ups and a well-paced series of scares.
Imagine Funny Games (either version) without the meta-movie aspect. Even those annoyed by Michael Haneke's hectoring in those pictures must admit that there wouldn't be much left but random, pointless sadism without it.
Logic is a torch we can use to fight our fears. If it flickers only dimly here, perhaps that's by design.
