This movie is all over the place. The story line is good, but the way the puzzle is put together is so bad and confusing at times.
It is too bad because the acting was great .... but that it the end of the good.

Big fan of Kristina Klebe but what was she doing she apparently did the casting , second unit director, co-producer and acting in this nonsensical pseudo horror mess based on the directors first 'short' "Eyes Of Samir" - perhaps it should have stayed as a 'short'.
Also by the end credit it looks like it was actually finished in 2017 as "Sara's Cell" and only released now for some unknown reason but should have stayed in the vaults as this is not going to make any money at the box office that is for sure!
As other reviewers have already reviewed it I will just sum up - Although the acting is good the film is a mish mash of confused storyline, dreadful editing, poor script, bad effects, not scary...but hey I did like the end credits music from the old 1975 America hit "Sister Golden Hair" but that is about all - don't waste your money on this cinematic dud!

I didn't expect much as I sat down to watch this film, but something got me hooked. A lot of people seem to think it's bad and all over the place, but I disagree. The story is pretty straight told (with a few flashbacks to explain stuff) so i think it's the opposite of all over the place.
Maybe some get confused about characters acting as infiltrators or even playing both sides, but I thought it was pretty obvious who was who and why they acted like they did. The story was building up to the end, but the execution of the end might have been something more. It felt a little bit cut off.
Anyway, even though I expected something like it I didn't see the end coming exactly the way it did.
I give it 5 out of 10 (actually 5,5 since I think it's better than 5 but not as good as 6)

Low budget, zero talent, no skills, a waste of your time, and not worth going into detail about it .
Just avoid .

This movie is one of the most confusing and badly edited film I've ever tried to watch. The scenes jump from different times and places without any notice, explanation or reason. It could also easily be debated as a American anti...well anything "non-American" as it strives to make viewers believe that all Muslims are machine gun toting terrorists. If it was well made in a sequential manner it still would not have upped it's rating, however even that would have been far from saving this dehumanizing propagandist insult to secular freedom. Most importantly this movie just isn't interesting with it's misplaced gratuitous violence.

Can't add much more than the other honest reviews,just wish i had'nt wasted time on it. The ending made no sense at all - come to think of it neither did the beginning or the middle. What a Mess...........

Good acting, decent direction.
As my headline says, there was indeed a good story in there somewhere, but the execution was kinda blah. The horror elements didn't kick in until the last 15 or so minutes.

I have never thought I would write such review and I'm sorry if I'm being honest, and 1 being generous, But What in the hell is this? Lol
Did they think we're 5 years old or smth?
None sense, utter crap, a bunch of amateurs trying to make a movie and they just chose the wrong story.
I'm definite, The high reviews are from family and friends. No sane person would rate this as good.
Just quit this and find another job that you might be good at.
Thanks and bye.

I was expecting a "Homeland" style, political drama and action film, but didn't expect the twist towards the latter third of the film. Quite the unexpected turn of events. The cast is robust and talented. Especially enjoyed the brief but deadly-charming Eoin Macken. Kristina Klebe is pretty spot-on as Sara Brown, her steely glare gives you a slight sense that something sinister is coming, just wait for it...

Not a bad movie . A little scattered. But ending puts it together. I think the low votes are due something else.

I'm almost an hour in and I just can't take it anymore. Where's the horror? I expected something, anything, and got nothing. Why is this a horror movie?
It's confusing as heck; all the Arabs look and sound alike. I can't tell the good guys from the bad, assuming there are any good guys.
All in all, garbage.
Film: I Am Fear
Directed by: Kevin Shulman
Top Billed Cast: @kristinaklebe Bill Moseley, William Forsyth and Faran Tahir
Ok so where did this one from.....
Out of absolutely nowhere has struck one of these most unique takes in the horror/war/mystery genre in a long time.
Gritty, raw and suspenseful, the brilliantly shot and directed I am Fear pulls no punches what so ever as the viewers dive deep into a fiery Los Angeles as we end up face to face with one of humanity's biggest fears.
This film took me completely by surprise and I just wanted more and more and more.
The cast is incredible!! While this may sound biased as I am a huge @kristinaklebe fan she gives the greatest performance in her career (in my opinion) and the scenes were her and Faran star in are phenomenal, great direction and great on set chemistry. Other stand out performances include Rob Zombie regular Bill Moseley and Eoin Macken.
The pacing of the film is excellent leading into a stunning third act which I most certainly will not spoil!!
To conclude, I am fear delivers on so many levels from well written, high tension stakes to gripping, chilling horror which crawls inside you and messes up your mentality so be ready to stare into the face of true terror 4.5/5
What do you get when you mix up diverse subjects such as Islamic extremists terrorists, shadowy government agencies,raging wildfires, the media and well... The Devil, ad in a healthy dose of practical gore and a few jumpscares? Apparently this incredibly original and highly entertaining gem of an indie horror feature.
I was expecting pure schlock after watching the trailer and very nearly dropped it from my watchlist, but I'm so glad I finally took it on, dispite my reservations.
The film starts out incredibly disjointed but after a while the narrative threads starts to come together and the storyline becomes clear. It obviously a very low budget picture with a limited number of sets, but the film overcomes these obstacles thanks to a great script, good to great acting, competent directing and first and foremost originality.
Hope you enjoy it.

Just watched it for the first time. And it was amazing! 🔥 Will definitely watch again 👍🏽
I don't know. I think I am conflicted on this one. I felt it was all over the place. There is a chance it could work with a higher budget and better special effects.
