Lurking Fear

About This Movie

Lurking Fear is one of those eerie gems that captures the essence of 90s horror. The desolate town of Leffert’s Corners feels like a character itself, steeped in dread and isolation. It’s got this nice, creeping tension that builds from the grim atmosphere and the practical effects used to bring the grotesque creatures to life. The pacing is a little uneven, sure, but it allows for some truly tense moments and the townspeople's desperation is palpable. You can tell they really leaned into that old-school vibe. The performances, while not Oscar-worthy, add to the film's charm—it's that raw, gritty energy that draws you in. Definitely a unique entry in the crime horror blend, with a flavor all its own.
