Wendy (Amy Carlson) and Donald (David Alan Basche) have just moved into their new house and are looking forward to starting a new beginning. They live close to their niece, Jami (Mallory Bechtel) who investigates supernatural phenomenon and is fascinated with anything that may come close to a bump in the night.
However, after Wendy finds a book seemingly full with demonic incantations and starts having visions, feeling that her body may be out of her control, it’s up to Jami, Donald and Wendy’s best friend, Nancy (Meeya Davis) to expel the demon from Wendy’s body.
Know Fear is a supernatural horror movie directed by Jamison M. LoCascio and co-written by Adam Ambrosio. Starting with what may be a limited premise considering the obviously low budget of the film, Know Fear relies almost solely on its script and that’s where the movie would live or die. Luckily, the idea of supernatural possession is a staple for the horror genre, so it’s surprisingly easy how the movie lets the audience into its simple idea.
It’s all down to the script and the direction though which helps to set the scene, so whereas you may think you’ve seen it all before, Know Fear does indeed know what it is and it knows how to deliver.
A slow burn horror, Know Fear is without jump scares or grisly special effects which thankfully leaves a lot up to the imagination of its audience. Nobody knows quite what they’re facing right up until the finale and even then, Know Fear only reveals enough so that the audience may find themselves wanting more.
The cast all do a great job and although the movie does go into familiar territory, it still feels like something good was done with its premise that will delight horror fans. Fans of horror that slowly builds up, wanting a good atmosphere rather than lazy scares may be pleasantly surprised by Know Fear.
The kind of horror that may seem familiar, but is well executed and may even leave its audience wondering how it was all so well done seemingly so easily.
