FEAR
is a visually striking poetic film on the universal emotion that
can hit us when we let insignificant little incidents spin wildly out
of control.
Starring:
Jessie Rabideau
Written
and directed by: Steven Kahn
Appropriately
entitled "FEAR," this short film shows audiences fear can hit us in
many different ways. It starts off with a young woman in her bathroom, where
strange things occur, as she does things like take a bath, and wash her hair.
The film has the audience wondering what’s going to happen to her as she does
these things. Is there someone in the house? Maybe a ghost is haunting her, or
maybe fear is getting the best of her?
The film might seem odd at first, but curiosity, suspense, and tension will
build as the woman moves from the bathroom into other parts of her home. It
brings out these emotions as things get stranger and stranger, and the feeling
that danger is getting closer sets in for the woman. They did a great job of
coming up with creative ways for the woman to feel fear, and didn't do too many
standard scares horror fans see all of the time. Add to that the wonderful way
the film is shot. It really enhances the fear, such as a scene where the woman
experiences a lightening storm in her kitchen.
From beginning to end, fear makes itself present. The young woman experiences
different levels of it throughout the film, while the audience is fearful of
what might happen to her. The film isn’t short on creativity, and is shot
really well. Be on the lookout for "FEAR" at film festivals, and
hopefully even one day at PromoteHorror.com.
