Fear, Inc., a new horror-comedy from writer Luke Barnett and director Vincent Masciale, is set to have its World Premiere at this weekend’s Tribeca Film Festival.
Fear, Inc. concerns a company that, for a high price, will bring a customer’s greatest fears to life. When a horror junkie’s customized experience begins, he and his friends must determine whether or not the company’s team of degenerates are merely fulfilling the contract, or have a darker agenda.
Ahead of the premiere, Bloody Disgusting had a look at the festival poster that’s lost a limb holding a business card. There’s a number on the card…and it works.
I dare you to call 516-900-FEAR…
Abigail Breslin – a genre veteran who has starred in Signs, Zombieland, The Call and Maggie – is featured with Lucas Neff (Raising Hope), Caitlin Stasey (All Cheerleaders Die, CW’s Reign), Chris Marquette (Freddy vs Jason, Alpha Dog), Stephanie Drake (Mad Men), Mark Moses, Eric Lange (Lost, Nightcrawler), Leslie Jordan (American Horror Story, Will&Grace), Naomi Grossman (American Horror Story), Ronnie Gene Blevins (The Dark Knight Rises, True Detective), Ashlynn Yennie (The Human Centipede I&II), Patrick Renna (The Sandlot), Richard Riehle (Office Space), David Ury (31, Breaking Bad).
What if there was a company you could call that, for a premium, will bring your greatest fears to life? You don’t have to leave your house, your office, or your vacation; the scares are customized to your tastes and arrive at your doorstep when you least expect it. But like texting an ex at 2am, what sounds like a great idea at the time, can end up getting you killed.
When horror movie enthusiast, Joe Foster (Lucas Neff) and his girlfriend, Lindsey Gains (Caitlin Stasey), are handed a business card for such a company, Joe’s curiosity gets the best of him.
As the Fear, Inc experience seemingly begins, scares start popping up right out of Joe’s favorite horror movies, quickly turning him into a kid in a candy store; if the kid was a self righteous thirty year old and the candy store was the prop room from SAW. After a friend explains the company’s dangerous reputation, his rollercoaster of a journey goes from light hearted fun to uncomfortably realistic as things take a major turn for the worse. Joe’s sense of reality spirals out of control as he’s forced to take responsibility for his actions, no matter the cost.
