Unpopular opinion: Fear is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the Fear performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Fear actually is?
Just got out of Fear and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Hot Take: Fear's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Look, I wanted to love Fear. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
