[Sundance ’13 Review] Feeling Of Dread Runs Through ‘In Fear’
Ryan Daley has chimed in with his thoughts on the Sundance Midnight psychological thriller In Fear, which stars Iain De Caestecker, Alice Englert, and Allen Leech driving, lost and tormented in the night, where primal fears of the dark and the unknown give way to horrible fears.
Daley explains that “Pervasive feeling of dread runs throughout the first half” of Jeremy Lovering’s pic, and that “uneasy moans from the audience could be heard as Lovering takes a seemingly benign situation and slowly tightens the screws.”
Although, he goes into explain that it loses its magic: “But midway through the movie Lovering gives us an early peek at his hole card, and the tension, so cleverly sustained until now, begins to seep away.”

Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
