Abe and his cronies arrive at the diner along with Ben, Ashleigh and Tom and they celebrate Joe for overcoming the horror. As she rushes to an elevator to escape, the attacker disappears. The three scolded Joe for pulling up yet another prank.

Joe gets out of his bindings and walks to a seemingly abandoned diner. The film is directed by Vincent Masciale based on the script by Luke Barnett, both are also producing the film along with Heather Kasprzak and Natalie Masciale.

Morning comes and Joe's best friend Ben (Chris Marquette) and his wife Ashleigh (Stephanie Drake) arrive at their house for a Halloween party. As he grabs his phone once more to notify the emergency operator, Lindsey suddenly wakes up and unties herself from the bed.

Different character and maybe I would have liked it much more! Without any question, Fear Inc has the most annoying lead character of all time, Joe Foster (Lucas Neff).

He then tells the rest of "Fear, Inc." that they've got another customer. Joe calls 911 again only for it to be answered by Lindsey, who is sitting on the other side of the empty diner. He grabs his phone and successfully calls the cops once more as the ones he called earlier were not there yet.

Before Abe kills Joe, he explains he can't let him leave without experiencing his all-time favorite death scenes from films.

Lindsey then explains that it was all part of the package and that Ben and Ashleigh were in on it the entire time. He also discovers real blood is pouring out of his body. Fear, Inc. is a 2016 American comedy horror film directed by Vincent Masciale and written by Luke Barnett. The structure of the twists requires a large suspension of disbelief and if less time was spent trying to outsmart the viewer and more time on inventive scares, this could have a been a good little flick.

It fails to stick its multiple landings and when it finally does come to a bloody crescendo its nothing but a terrible ending to a mediocre film. He wakes up to find Ben gagged and strapped to a chair next to a table filled with cutting contraptions. The person on the other end of the line puts her on hold. The guy that should die first is the one that makes it through(ish). Change ), You are commenting using your Twitter account. He is let in by a man and allowed to use the phone. Thinking it is going way too far, Lindsey insists that Joe call the cops. The jokes weren’t landing and the scares weren’t scaring, the tonal shifts were non-existent, so once things start to kick into gear we are left wanting more.

I was going to turn it off in the first ten minutes, but the kid from Fanboys showed up so I gave it another ten minutes and I’m glad I did. Change ), You are commenting using your Google account. [4][5], Variety wrote: "The main thing early reels have going for them isn’t any actual cleverness or wit, but Neff’s pleasant riffing within a stock slacker-bro role. The former was a direct sequel to the original Alien, with Ripley's grown daughter Amanda trapped on a decaying space station with a relentless, unkillable Xenomorph.

[2][3], On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 50% based on reviews from 12 critics. Suddenly, another van comes and "Fear, Inc." leader Abe (Mark Moses), along with his cronies, threaten Joe and Lindsey who are hiding among the bushes.

Although playful at times for horror aficionados, there are plenty of scenes that capture respectful homages to the classics, the messy script and underdeveloped characters can’t be overlooked.

But maybe that was the point?

A young woman, Jennifer Adams (Abigail Breslin) is seemingly chased by an attacker in a parking garage. Joe realizes he was still being pranked as he references his situation in the Saw films.

She grabs her phone and attempts to end the attack by insisting that "it" wasn't part of the plan. Thinking Bill was in on the prank, Joe returns inside and tells the others what happened. A man pops up from the back seat and strangles her to death.

Confused, Joe asks Lindsey what is going on. They find Ashleigh pinned to a tree with arrows (to which Joe recognized as a scene from Friday the 13th).

The film ends with a phone ringing and Judson (Leslie Jordan), "Fear, Inc.'s" phone operator answers the phone by saying their service is sold out. This “cycle repeats” neutral ending doesn't have a strong resolution one way or another, so correspondingly don't go too crazy in any direction to get this ending. Joe and Lindsey are captured and Abe tells Joe that he killed Tom (Patrick Renna) without knowing he has a wife and a daughter. They are then spooked by a random guy who gives Joe a calling card for a company called "Fear, Inc." where they bring fears to life. They steal the "Fear, Inc." van but on the way, they are stopped by the sheriff only for him to be hit by a stray van (as in Final Destination).

While calling, he is attacked by a masked man but Joe is able to defend himself.

Jennifer walks to her car, assuming the chase is over. Joe is not the kind of character that is annoying at first, but soon you learn to love him. Successful, they decide to lock all the doors and windows until all the cops get to the house. Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account.

Lindsey explains that everything is a prank and that Ashleigh and Ben are alive and well, which is proven when they enter the house picking out their prosthetic. They escape and proceed to bury the body. Bill warns Joe about yet another intruder only to be stabbed by a cloaked and masked man (in the same manner as Drew Barrymore's character from Scream").

Joe strangles and kills the man.

Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. After the night, Joe finds his wallet and phone back in his room with the calling card placed on top of it. The lights turn off and after several seconds, Ben's body disappeared. He is then tasked to rip open Ben's chest to retrieve a key.

The film stars Lucas Neff, Caitlin Stasey, Chris Marquette, and Stephanie Drake. --We see an image of a face pressed through a red plasticy-sheet occasionally—but it's never explained what the face represents. Now that’s it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it, I can say I definitely still have no desire to watch it again, but I did enjoy the campiness of it… I think it was just Joe that killed it for me.

Who knows?--Occasional "nightmare-like" cinematography which also contains no explanation. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in: You are commenting using your WordPress.com account.

For a story that is conceived around what is real and what isn’t, you have to let your imagination stretch a little, but here Masciale is pushing it. The police arrive and Lindsey and the others confirm that they saw no one in the house.

The Ugly:

I just wanna shake in my boots” Sure, it looks pretty good, but what the hell does it mean?--Bland characters. When his character stops having fun, so does the audience. They attempt to escape only to find out that Joe's only car has been damaged. I just wanna shake in my boots”.

She hops inside her car only to discover that several people are locating her through her radio. He arrives in the room only to find Lindsey unconscious but alive. He holds a knife to Joe's throat and says "Cut to black bitch!".

Joe admits to the three that he called "Fear, Inc." the other night.

After a night of partying, the group arrive back in the house and the television mysteriously turns on showing the news channel.

The TV turns on and a cloaked man instructs Joe to cut Ben's left hand off or Lindsey (who is then shown through the TV tied to a bed with an armed man next to her) will die. The next morning, while Ashleigh, Ben and Lindsey are hanging around the pool, Joe's neighbor Bill (Richard Riehle) warns him about spotting an intruder in Joe's home.

Basically a horror movie version of The Game…. Lindsey and Joe tell them that the man was actually killed. I really enjoyed this film, I’m sorry you didn’t. Lindsey and Joe return inside the house but another masked man knocks Joe unconscious. ( Log Out /  Joe tells Ben and Ashleigh about the calling card but Ben warns him not to take part of it as someone he knew got seriously hurt because of it. I also didn’t find the Joe character unlikeable, per se, but he was kind of an ass. “I just wanna be scared a lil bit. Lindsey explains that Joe's phone was reprogrammed by the company so that every time he makes an emergency call, it redirects to "Fear, Inc." Lindsey insists they bury the body in the desert. Fear Inc comes across as a desperate attempt to become a cult classic. Abe quotes a line from the movie Cobra saying, "You're the disease, I am the cure." ( Log Out /  Ben looks outside only to see no reporter out there. Ben goes out to find her while Lindsey and Joe break bottles for weapons. With a somewhat interesting concept, everything just felt a little clunky and very flip floppy. Layers Of Fear has three possible endings for players to unlock, so here's how to get them all.

Suddenly, they snap Ben's neck, shoot Ashleigh in the head with a gun and slash Lindsey's throat. First-person horror games have become a popular subgenre in recent years, with 2014 bringing both Alien: Isolation and P.T. Out of curiosity, he calls "Fear, Inc." only to be informed that their service has sold out. Thinking the special effects were cool enough, Joe continues to follow instructions from the man. Ben and Ashleigh freak out when they explained that "Fear, Inc." is actually a very dangerous company and when they found out that one of their men was killed, they will be coming for the rest of them. Joe, amazed at what he thinks is a great prosthetic, is warned by a barely alive Ashleigh to run back inside as a cloaked and masked man approaches them.
