This movie has a pretty cool concept. What if Doctor Frankenstein was working for the Nazis and was in charge of experiments to make super soldiers (or maybe just a mad scientist using his writings for inspiration). A group of Russian soldiers goes on a mission to track down a secret lab and stop them. When they reach the underground secret lab ( to someone unfamiliar it feels like a maze) they are met with some really inventive creatures. Like, hey let’s replace an arm with a weapon type stuff. It is a sci-fi horror concept film that is not serious at all. I would classify it as mindless entertainment (and you see plenty of brains throughout!).

Unfortunately, once you see the monsters there’s not much left to keep watching for.

I give it a 5/10.

In Fear (2013) Movie Review

When I sat down to watch this movie I knew it was a horror movie but I had no idea it would become a maze movie. The movie takes place in the UK and follows a new couple (2 weeks) on a trip together. They decide to go to a country hotel on their way to meet friends. And they get lost. And remain lost. And our character says these roadways are like a maze. And they are right. This movie reminds me of Vivarium but taking place in a car in the UK. Overall this simple low budget movie works. It has tension at times and is worth watching. Yes, it isn’t perfect, and despite the short length could have been cut by about 10 minutes.

I give it a 5.4/10.
