A suspense-ridden thriller shot in real time and hinging on a claustrophobic visual style, In Fear is a study in fear itself – fear of the dark, of the unknown, of ourselves.
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. A convincing cinematic debut by TV old stager Jeremy Lovering, who withheld the script from his actors with the aim of provoking genuine reaction and shed pretence.
» The state of fear is a state of being. I was interested in how you create these monsters yourself, and your bogeyman is whatever you want it to be. It comes from within.«
