In Fear

Jeremy Lovering's In Fear (UK, 2013) - A nervous couple drives around in circles, growing increasingly convinced that something is out to get them, until the whole situation runs out of gas in stylish British chiller "In Fear." Effectively unsettling for as long as auds don't know what's going on -- in part because the actors didn't, either -- Jeremy Lovering's tense debut might have worked better had it left more to the imagination. Still, crisp camerawork and amplified sound yield paranoia aplenty in this sharp-looking Sundance midnight movie, making it hard to imagine another director getting anywhere near this much mileage out of three actors and a car. 2013SUN. RATING: 4
