"Either way, we're white, we're rich. The cops are gonna be here any second." I liked this one...it was funny and it had so many layers. You get a lot of play on the classic horror movies and then it completely changes direction. I loved the ending...it's worth it just to get to that part. If you are any type of fan of the Slash/Com, this is worth a watch!

I don't really know what to say about this movie as there is not a whole lot to say.
It's a horror-comedy, packed with jokes that 99% of them fall flat to the ground as they aren't funny at all.
Our lead man is incredibly obnoxious and annoying and often ruins scenes that could have been somewhat suspenseful by cracking various jokes etc and being over-enthustiastic about everything.
There are some semi-clever homages to other horror films, the Saw one had a great set up but again slightly ruined by the lead character's personality.
But none of the cast really impresses if I'm gonna be honest, not even Chris Marquette whom I usually like. He's not bad per se, but it's a fairly ungrateful part he was given as the best friend of the douchebag in the lead.
So yeah can't say I liked it very much, it's directed by a guy called Vincient Masciale and although he didn't get it right this time I wouldn't write him off completely and he could quite possibly learn from the mistakes he did with this one.

Where to start with this movie. Fear Inc. is a movie for horror fans that don't want to watch a horror but still crave references. I can say, personally, while I don't think it was a great movie, it was entertaining and the concept left me intrigued. Horror/Comedy is hard genre to pull off with each being the anthesis of the other, however this film made the smart movie and leaned more towards comedy, as abysmal as some of the jokes were but it at the very least kept consist with it's tone until the ending which is where a majority of my problems with the movie lie. In the end I can say, if you watched the trailer then you should already know you're not getting another horror classic for the books, but if you're just looking for something to watch some Friday night and you stumble across this, it might just be have enough to keep you hooked.
As a big fan of the genre, it doesn't take much for me to watch a horror/thriller if given a few positive reviews, but within the first few minutes, I deemed that the main character was that of another poorly played juvenile trapped inside a late twenty-something's body, this time with a hipster look, slamming beers every 10 seconds while giving us no reason to root him on through a survival horror situation. You're basically looking at a slightly larger, more intelligent yet less funny Pauly Shore unafraid of anything for his brain is apparently fried and full of cliché. As the story attempts to create suspense, the film becomes more and more predictable, desperately trying to sell scares when your girlfriend has fell asleep half way through. Sorry to be so down on this film, but one of the actors even sites the movie that it so uselessly rips off, The Game with Michael Douglas. Skip this one unless you are a huge fan of modern day B movie failures.
So, this guy is a horror film fan, an adrenaline junkie. He really wants a real feel of the true horror feeling. They give it to him and then some! The actors are really good, actually. I thought for a moment that it was bad acting, but really, it was good acting OF bad acting. If that makes any sense.
I was hesitant to watch it because it is also categorized as "Comedy" in the genre, but now I get it. Some parts will make you laugh because of the actor Lucas Neff! He is just a great actor, funny or serious!!
I read other reviews that say there are twists, after twists, after twists.... so that prepared me for 3 twists. I was not prepared for the 4th! It is worth watching! Very entertaining! Enjoy :)
