Descripción

BACKROOMS completely caught us off guard. What started as a creepy liminal horror movie slowly turned into one of the most isolating and emotionally draining theater experiences Amy’s had in a long time. This wasn’t just jump scares or creepy hallways. The sound design and hidden footsteps had Amy literally covering her ears and wishing she had noise-canceling headphones. We break down how the distorted spaces, oppressive atmosphere, terrifying audio design, and endless backrooms got so deeply under Amy’s skin that she didn’t even want to walk to the theater bathroom alone afterward. This movie didn’t just stay in the theater... It followed her home. 🎧 Listen & Follow The Fear Review: Spotify: https://spotify.thefearreview.com [https://spotify.thefearreview.com/] Apple Podcasts: https://apple.thefearreview.com [https://apple.thefearreview.com/] Amazon Music: https://amazon.thefearreview.com [https://amazon.thefearreview.com/] 🎬 Watch full video episodes: https://episodes.thefearreview.com [https://episodes.thefearreview.com/] 🎞️ Watch our latest Shorts: https://shorts.thefearreview.com [https://shorts.thefearreview.com/] Around here, The Fear is Family.

Leviticus Is Basically Conversion Therapy It Follows

Backrooms and Obsession have been standouts in a really good stretch of horror lately, and Leviticus belongs in that conversation. This one is basically conversion therapy It Follows, which is a weird combination, but it works. William thought the horror hook was strong, simple, and effective. Amy had a harder time with the heavier side of the movie and spent most of it wanting to get these kids out of that town. We start spoiler-free, give our Fear Review ratings, and then move into spoilers after a clear warning.

The Voices of Our Mother Review | One of Horror's Most Unexpected Twists?

The Voices of Our Mother takes a very different approach to possession horror, but does the ending make the journey worth it? William and Amy had very different reactions to Shudder's latest original horror film. William appreciated the slow-building mystery and thought the payoff delivered one of the more original possession stories he's seen in a while. Amy agreed the ending was strong but wasn't convinced the journey getting there was worth it. Join us for our spoiler-free review, ratings, and a full spoiler discussion as we break down one of the most unique horror concepts we've seen this year.

Amy Walked Out of Find Your Friends

Amy did something she's never done before on The Fear Review: she walked out. Not because of the horror. Not because of the gore. Because she couldn't take another minute with the characters. This week we're reviewing Find Your Friends, the new Shudder Original that follows a group of young women whose desert getaway spirals into violence. While the film aims to explore party culture, toxic friendships, trauma, and survival, neither of us could connect with the characters at the center of the story. We discuss why the film never gave us a reason to care, whether intentionally unlikeable characters can still carry a movie, why the horror arrives far too late, and how another revenge thriller on Shudder handled similar themes much more effectively. What did you think of Find Your Friends? Did the characters work for you, or were you checked out long before the horror started?

Title: Is OBSESSION Too Effective For Its Own Good?

Can a movie be so well done that it's bad for you?vThat's the question at the center of our review of OBSESSION. William thinks the film succeeds at exactly what it sets out to do, but Amy thinks that's precisely the problem. From its relentless tension and disturbing imagery to one of the bleakest horror experiences we've had in a long time, OBSESSION left us completely divided. Is making an audience miserable a sign of great horror, or does a movie eventually become too effective for its own good? Join us for our spoiler-free review, ratings, and full spoiler discussion.
