I Am Fear, despite its title, does not involve many concepts of horror. The plot of the film involved the CIA saving Asad (portrayed by Faran Tahir) who is then recruited to infiltrate a sleeper cell of terrorists. Meanwhile, another plot involves a journalist - Sara Brown (portrayed by Kristina Klebe) - who is kidnapped by the sleeper cells who intend to record her murder and release it on the 4th of July.
The problem with I Am Fear is that it's trying to do too much. The film has flashbacks that can become confusing. The acting is subpar. The end of the film involves a supernatural/horror scene that just seems like it had nothing to do with the rest of the film and comes out of nowhere. All these issues alone could make the film bad. Put together it just is not a great concept.
Overall I would not recommend watch this film as the plot just doesn't seem to make sense - 2/10.

Fear Not Found - Film Review
Not the best I've seen but I liked it
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)
Good Concept, Bad Execution
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!
