The Fear Review

A young football phenom joins a training camp run by the legendary Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans) and discovers something far darker than drills and sprints. Him is trippy, tense, and full of needle-sharp sound design that will keep you squirming.

William and Amy break it all down—non-spoiler thoughts, spoiler-heavy theories, and their final rating. Was it a love letter or hate mail to football? Why does it feel like Get Out met Here...

We just endured the bleak new adaptation of Stephen King’s The Long Walk. Picture Hunger Games stripped of all gloss and hope.

• Amy: “Don’t Bother. I needed a British Bake Off cleanse.”

• William: “Full Price. It’s hard to watch but brilliantly made.”

In this episode:

• A quick synopsis and spoiler-free review

• Spoiler discussion with the Twizzler slap, “bubble guts,” and that devastating ending

• Next week’s movie...

Fresh out of the theater, William and Amy dive into The Conjuring: Last Rites — spoiler-free first, then into the full demon-mirror chaos. Amy admits she screamed louder than the jump scares (again), William insists the Warrens are what make the franchise work, and together they break down why this film is a worthy final chapter.

Yes, the dog lives. Yes, Amy needed all the lights on afterward. And yes, it’s a Buyer.

⭐ Final Verdict...

In this week’s episode, William & Amy dive into the reimagined cult classic, complete with Peter Dinklage as an unlikely mop-wielding hero, Kevin Bacon chewing scenery as a goat demon, and Elijah Wood leaning all the way into his hunchback henchman vibes.

Expect:

• Amy’s “absolutely not” moment with the butt scene 🤢

• William’s nostalgia trip back to the originals

• A full breakdown of the gore, camp, and chaos

• The popco...

What happens when you mix an isolated boat, a creepy fisherman, and a few very hungry sharks? You get Dangerous Animals—a thriller that’s equal parts tense, absurd, and bloody fun.

In this episode of The Fear Review, William and Amy tackle Dangerous Animals with their trademark blend of sarcasm and sharp critique. From Jai Courtney’s unsettlingly charming performance to questionable shark physics, we cover the highs, lows, and “pin...

We went in curious. We came out questioning our life choices.

From Zach Cregger (Barbarian), Weapons starts with a chilling premise — an entire classroom of kids disappears into the night. Julia Garner and Josh Brolin lead the search… and then things take a sharp turn into territory we didn’t expect (or want).

In this 24-minute review, we cover:

• Spoiler-free first impressions

• Why the structure and pacing didn’t work for us

This week on The Fear Review, we dig into Together (2025), a relationship-driven horror film where the scariest thing might be… staying together.

Amy and I (a married couple ourselves) unpack the film’s slow-burn tension, emotional realism, and twisted dynamics. Is Together a horror movie, a breakup drama, or just a very intense therapy session with blood? We don’t agree on everything — but we do agree this one gets under your skin...

What do you get when a guy brings home a shoebox full of exotic spiders? A full-blown arachnid apocalypse in a cramped Paris apartment building.

In this week’s episode of The Fear Review, Amy and William sink their teeth into Infested (2024), the French spider-siege horror film that made waves at festivals before hitting Shudder. We talk practical effects, panic-inducing pacing, and why no one in horror ever learns to just leave na...

This week we watched the legacy sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer... and we’re not mad about it? But also, we kinda are.

We break down what worked (the nods to the original, a few fun kills) and what definitely didn’t (the villain reveal and our theater neighbor who bought cheese covered hot Cheetos).

We talk trauma, teen slashers, and whether this movie had any business being this entertaining while also being... pretty bo...

This week on The Fear Review, we dive fang-first into Sinners (2025), a moody, stylish vampire film set in 1930s Mississippi—and honestly? We did not expect this much soul in a bloodsucker movie.

We cover: 🧛‍♂️ Michael B. Jordan pulling double duty as twins 🎶 The insanely good blues soundtrack that made us open Spotify before the credits ended 🐍 The snake jump scare that made Amy spill her coffee ⚰️ Why Sinners might be the best...

This week on The Fear Review, we watched Bring Her Back — and now Amy needs therapy.

From the directors of Talk to Me, this movie brings the trauma, the demons, and the emotional damage. We’re talking screaming, crawling, eye-contact-you’ll-never-forget kind of horror. And let’s just say Amy wasn’t handling it well.

🎧 In this episode:

• Spoiler-free thoughts up top (you’re safe… for a while)

• Full spoiler breakdown after the ...

This week on The Fear Review, we take on the newest installment in the 28 Days Later universe, 28 Years Later,  and honestly… we’re baffled. Zombie dong? Check. A cult of tracksuit ninjas doing flips? That happened. We break down what worked, what really didn’t, and whether it even felt like a horror movie at all.

Spoiler-free up top, full spoiler section after the "meaty sausage" cue.

We’re back!

After a year off and a few medical scares (including the tragic loss of half an eyebrow), The Fear Review returns with a new co-host: William’s wife of 25 years, Amy.
