PlotTom and Lucy, a young couple, set out on a road trip to a music festival in rural Ireland. En route, Tom surprises Lucy by suggesting they spend the night at a secluded hotel to celebrate their two-week anniversary. As they follow what seems to be a never-ending series of signs leading to the hotel, the couple finds themselves spiraling deeper into an unnavigable maze of country roads and increasing isolation. Unsettling occurrences begin to build tension between them, as Lucy starts to suspect that they might not be alone. Their unease grows as the night progresses, and confusion quickly gives way to fear when they realize that someone or something may be toying with them.
As Tom and Lucy try to find their way out, their car becomes a vulnerable stronghold against the growing dread of their unseen tormentor. The couple’s relationship is tested by the mounting urgency of their predicament, with paranoia and distrust sowing discord between them. Each turn they take through the labyrinthine roads reveals more signs of the malevolent presence haunting them, but escape proves increasingly elusive. Forced to confront their deepest fears, Tom and Lucy must navigate not just the darkened roads but also the creeping psychological terror that threatens to tear them apart.

In Fear offers a solid atmosphere and fine performances with fantastic audio but mediocre video; a worthwhile rental and possibly a purchase at a lower price.
