Reviews

Review Links:

  • B-Movie Film Vault, (link) - "LURKING FEAR fails on many levels. It has too many disposable characters, a disjointed plot, and doesn't put its monsters in the spotlight often enough. Toss in a healthy dose of lousy dialogue, a few terrible actors, a forgettable score, bad sound effects, and you have a recipe for disaster. ...But there are some redeeming things to be found here. Jeffrey Combs is great... the creatures look pretty cool and are kind of creepy..."
