Review of In Fear

In Fear (I) (2013)
5/10
First half great, then pretty tedious, then ends very lame

Warning: Spoilers
This is a well-made film. Great directing and acting. The first 30 minutes are a great set up. But then...well, it just seems to run out of ideas.

(SPOILERS) Who pulled her hair? Even if someone is switching the signs around, they really can't figure it out or give up before nightfall? Why does the GPS quit...and the cell phones? How are her clothes removed when they've been in the car the whole time?

If you're going to introduce supernatural causes, then you need to be faithful to them and pay them off. Or explain them away with a natural explanation. The spooky stuff is great, but none of it is paid off. Turns out one (?) lone psycho is after them? It just falls apart the last 40 minutes.

Again, great talent in front and behind the camera, but just no story to tell, just an idea.
