IN FEAR

Case study 2 - IN FEAR

Two festival-goers get lost in the menacing Irish countryside in this electrifying psychological thriller.

In Fear is a horror/thriller film which is released in the UK on the 15th of November 2013.

Producers include James Biddle and director Jeremy Lovering.

In Fear will be shown in cinemas nationwide such as Cineworld, Vue, Odeon and Picturehouse in 2D format.

The Counsellor, The Butler, Turbo, Don Jon are films that will compete with In Fear in the same week. 

I haven't seen much advertisement for this film as it is a low budget movie, they have to keep their costs to a minimum and advertising costs a lot of money which they don't have. However I have seen a TV advertisement on E4 for this film which advertised this film to students, and advertised Picturehouse cinemas. They have a trailer (which can be seen at the end of this post) which has almost 100,000 views on YouTube. 

Iain De Caestecker stars as Tom, Alice Englert stars as Lucy, Allen Leech stars as Max.

It has a 5.2/100 on the website IMDb which have been reviewed by film critics and those that have seen this film previously at film festivals. 

In Fear was shown at the Sundance Film Festival on the 27th and 28th of April 2013. It was also shown at the FrightFest Film Festival from the 22nd-26th of August 2013.

 In Fear was shot in Bodmin Moor in Devon and the nearby Cornish woods, as this is quite a remote place, this allowed them to add to the eerie effect and dramatic tension in this film as it is a remote area, unlike busy cities which would have a lot of buildings and traffic. 

"The Best British chiller since The Descent"
