Fear Itself

About This Movie

Fear Itself (2017) really nails that creeping dread, you know? It’s not your typical horror flick; there’s this eerie, almost claustrophobic vibe throughout. The pacing is slow, which might not be for everyone, but it builds tension nicely. Luke's journey into the abandoned Hamleigh town feels like a descent into his own psyche. The practical effects, though not over-the-top, really enhance the unsettling moments. Colin Fowst’s character is wonderfully ambiguous, adding to the film's overall mystery. You can feel the weight of Luke's anxiety as he unravels, and it’s interesting how the film plays with the idea of imagination as a source of horror. Definitely a unique watch in the indie horror scene.
