Future Fear

Sure, when I sat down to watch the 2021 sci-fi horror "Future Fear" (aka "Stellanomicon: Future Fear"), I must admit that I wasn't really sure what to expect here. I hadn't even heard about the movie prior to getting to sit down to watch it. I have to say, though, that I was suckered in by the movie's cover.

And let me just say that this was bad. Really, really bad. The storyline felt like it was written by a pre-teen as a term paper. It was just ludicrous that writer and director Ken May managed to churn out something as ridiculous as "Future Fear" turned out to be.

I am sure that the idea was well-meant and that the concept sounded great in the head of writer and director, but the transition from idea to screen was just horrible.

The special effects in the movie were awful to look at. It felt as if they didn't even bother with attempting to make it look realistic. And how such effects get a clearance stamp in post-production is just beyond my comprehension.

The acting in "Future Fear" was every bit as wooden, rigid and cringe-worthy as the rest of the movie. So at least they were on point with that.

If you enjoy sci-fi horror movies, don't waste your time, money or effort on this one. There are far, far better movies out there in the sci-fi horror genre.

I am rating "Future Fear" a generous two out of ten stars. At least they tried, I suppose. And I bet they had fun making this cheesy movie. But in terms of it being an entertaining or enjoyable movie, then it was just a swing and a miss.

Future Fear is an electrifying blend of sci-fi, suspense, and mind-bending storytelling that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish! This indie gem proves that creativity and vision can outshine even the biggest blockbusters.

The film masterfully combines thrilling action with a deep, thought-provoking narrative. The atmosphere is hauntingly immersive, pulling the viewer into a dystopian world where danger lurks around every corner. The cinematography is stunning, using eerie lighting and clever camera work to heighten the tension.

The lead performance is absolutely captivating, bringing raw emotion and intensity to a complex character navigating a perilous future. Every scene feels purposeful, building up to a gripping climax that leaves a lasting impact. The special effects, though indie in scale, are impressively executed, adding to the film's gritty realism.

What truly sets Future Fear apart is its bold storytelling. It challenges viewers to think beyond the surface, blending sci-fi elements with philosophical undertones that linger in your mind long after the credits roll.

For fans of innovative sci-fi, Future Fear is a must-watch. It's a testament to the power of indie filmmaking, proving that passion and creativity can produce something truly special. A hidden gem that deserves far more recognition!

I've watched a lot of grade C movies in my time, and some of them managed to be amusing (intentionally or otherwise), or mildly entertaining in some way. This is not one of those. This movie is so bad it's difficult to articulate exactly how bad it is.

There's not a single redeeming quality. Concept, story (only charitably could you say there's a coherent story here), production, script, acting....so bad none of the people responsible for these should ever be permitted to work in the industry again. Forget the more refined aspects of movie-making, such as continuity, editing, effects...they're nonexistent. I can't believe anyone would have even funded this project it's so bad.

I'm jealous! I said it!

Never did I ever imagined funding is available to make this level of crap in film!

How did May do it? Who does he know?

Calling this a scifi film is like calling a seahorse a rabbit.

High schoolers write, produce and direct better knock-knock jokes than this.

Go back to flipping burgers. PLEASE!

Considering this movie had zero budget, and was mostly done during a global pandemic, it's really well done! The various segments are interesting, the acting is quite good, and the special effects really sell the scenes. I'd be very interested to see more of these.
