'In Fear' is a strange film. It's rather clever, and rather simple, and actually the acting isn't too bad, but it serves a purpose, and that is to scare.
A young couple, Tom and Lucy, are on their first weekend away together to an Irish festival. After temporarily getting lost in a desolate wooded area, they begin to notice strange things, such as signposts that lead them round and round without taking them to the correct location, and shadowy figures lurking in their rear-view mirror. When they accidently hit a pedestrian they are thrown into a horrifying situation that neither of them ever imagined.
Although the acting wasn't horrendous, the actor playing Tom was a complete idiot, and some of his choices were utterly ludicrous. Added to which, by the time we get to the end the plot has started to make even less sense than before and the motives of all three individuals has started to blur.
