Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Part Blair Witch Project, part game show, and part cure for insomnia, MTV's Inside Fear pits a team of uniformly pretty teens and twentysomethings against the forces of darkness.

Armed with video cameras and walkie-talkies, our intrepid ghostbusters visit a series of creepy locales to find out whether they are haunted. Each team member has to perform a dare, which seems to consist of standing alone in a dark room while trying to look scared, but there's also a certain amount of shrieking and vague references to paranormal phenomena.

Inside Fear includes interviews and footage not shown when the show was broadcast, but there are few surprises and no amount of wobbly camerawork can make up for the contestants' lack of personality. If you loved the show you'll like the video, but otherwise you'd be better off with a good horror movie. --Simon Leake

1.0 out of 5 stars Fun Program on MTV, HORRIBLE DVD !!!, May 16, 2003

By A Customer

This DVD is 55 MINUTES LONG! 55 minutes of garbage, and I really liked the program on MTV. Sure would be nice if MTV just offered the program for sale by season. They say on their web site that is coming soon. Whether it is or not, DO NOT waste your money on this frisbee.

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Disappointed, May 10, 2002

By	"snickers304" (Syracuse, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mtv: Inside Fear [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have seen the shows on MTV, and this compilation edition was a big disappointment. It is only 55 minutes long and shows about 5 dares. The ones shown were not the best of the show and, in my opinion, were poorly edited. Jumping from the actual dare to what the contestants were thinking about at the time was very irritating. Some contestants were explaining in one way or another, that it was their imagination which takes the fear factor out of the viewing. If you have seen the shows, this compilation is a waste of time!

2.0 out of 5 stars If you liked the gameshow, you will NOT like the DVD!, May 11, 2003

By	Ross Parker - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mtv: Inside Fear [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw a one-off show broadcast on British TV and thought the blair-witch style gameshow was amazing. It had my eyes glued to the screen for the whole episode, and was scarier than anything I'd seen before. After searching around I got the DVD with high expectations but I have to say it was a dissapointment. The DVD only features about 6 dares, and at that you would expect them to be the best. They are not! The dares are spoiled by constant cuts to commentary from the contestants which means you can never settle into the action. The biggest downfall on the DVD is that it takes the freight out of the successful episodes. If you get a chance to see Fear on TV or know a friend that has any episodes, it's a must see. But as for this DVD, leave it on the shelf!
