In Fear

Psychological horror following a young couple fighting to survive one night-turned-nightmare when they realise - while lost en route to a music festival in Ireland - that someone or something in the encroaching woods is out to get them. Billed as "home invasion, but in a car".

"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. Reminiscent of vintage psychological thrillers and bolstered by newcomers Iain De Caestecker and Alice Englert in its main roles, In Fear plays out in real time... Looking to shed pretense and genuinely scare his actors, [writer-director Jeremy] Lovering withheld the script and often concealed what was about to happen to the characters. Add a dark forest, and the fear became real." (Sundance Film Festival)
