Woodyanders Detective Nick Ferguson (a solid and believable performance by Rhett Giles) has a near fatal run-in with vicious serial killer Teddy (a creepy and convincing portrayal by Richard Tyson), who's been terrorizing the city of Los Angeles by murdering young women and removing their organs. After receiving a new heart and recovering in the hospital, Ferguson continues his obsessive search for Teddy. However, Ferguson has now acquired psychic abilities that enable him to have horrific visions of Teddy's victims as they're being tormented and murdered. Director/co-writer Kevin Carraway relates the absorbing story at a steady pace, develops a considerable amount of tension, delivers a fair amount of grisly graphic gore, and tosses in a few neat and surprising twists. Moreover, Ferugon makes for an appealingly flawed and troubled protagonist and his nightmarish visions are genuinely spooky and unsettling. This film further benefits from sound acting by the capable cast: Giles holds everything with his sturdy work as Ferguson, with fine support from Steven Williams as Ferguson's profane and hard-nosed superior Captain Bradley, Miranda Kwok as helpful psychic Kathryn, and John Duerler as diligent forensics expert Dr. Youngblood. Both Henryk Cymerman's slick cinematography and the rattling score by Mel Lewis are up to speed. Worth a watch.

BakuryuuTyranno Okay, again, Night Light Films tried to cash in on "Saw" with a serial killer... well that's not completely true. "Saw" mixed in with that one urban legend that's popularly set in South America.So yeah, like Jigsaw he does this "to help people". Thing is organ harvesters, if they rally exist, are in it for the money. It's just not convincing that this killer's motive is to help the people whose money he benefits from.Granted, this is one of those films where you can actually see where it went wrong for the most part, but of course there's other stuff they added in that's supposed to be poetic or symbolic or something and what it in fact ends up being is really annoying.

Paul Andrews The Fear Chamber is set in Los Angeles where a serial killer (Richard Tyson) has been abducting, mutilating & murdering young girls. Los Angeles detective Nick Ferguson (Rhett Giles) is on the case & catches up with the killer but loses him after being stabbed in the heart, waking up in hospital Ferguson realises that he had heart surgery & that the killer is still at large, Ferguson's captain (Steven Williams) is on his case to get results & the pressure is also on from a sensationalistic media & a worried public. While in bed one night Ferguson has a vision, a vision of one of the killers victims which helps him identify her. The visions continue & despite other's scepticism Ferguson uses them to help him track down the brutal serial killer...Co-written & directed by Kevin Carraway this supernatural serial killer thriller is probably best described as a cross between The Sixth Sense (1999) & The Silence of the Lambs (1991) & definitely best described as all crap. For a start the title The Fear Chamber has no real relevance to anything featured in the film although that's not a major issue to be honest, what is a major issue though is how bad the script is. The script almost completely ignore the killer & his motives until the very end, the majority of the run time focuses on detective Ferguson & his mental issue problems, his drinking problems & his personal problems in general. Ferguson is a veritable bundle of clichés as a cop in a film, he has a drinking problem, he is burnt out, the case he is on takes up his whole life, he has suffered close personal loss with the murder of his wife & he has a hard but ultimately fair captain who shouts & moans a lot. Seen it all before & the dialogue is really flat, it feels like the actor's are reading from cue cards just off screen that were written in a rush, the dialogue just doesn't feel that personal & has no life to it. Then there's the obligatory twist, now I will admit I usually am rubbish at guessing twist's but the two main ones that crop up at the end of The Fear Chamber are two of the most obvious plot twist's ever. I guessed both of them well in advance & anyone who has seen The Sixth Sense will guess at least one of them it's so obvious & the second twist has no impact anyway. The pace is slow, the film focuses on domestic drama rather than dramatic incident, there's nothing new here & the final twist is insultingly poor.The Fear Chamber has cheap straight-to-video/DVD production written all over it, I only saw it a few hours ago & I can barely remember anything about it. There's an odd creative decision at the start in which the sky is tinted red for some bizarre reason, I have no idea why & it's an odd look in a film which is meant to be set in the real world. There's no real horror here, we only see the killer kidnap one girl & his activities seem to be a secondary consideration for the makers as they concentrate on Ferguson. There's a fairly gory scene where the killer cuts someone open with a scalpel & remove her kidney but apart from that this is very tame stuff. The Fear Chamber is regularly set in the most underpopulated police station in cinematic history, it seems only detective Ferguson & his boss works there & would one cop all by himself by assigned such a big case? Wouldn't he at least have a partner? Surely there would be an entire team working under him trying to track down a brutal serial killer? Or is a serial killer not considered that important? Also why did the killer paint his face at the end like a clown & what caused the room to shake? I know it was probably meant to be a supernatural occurrence but it's never referred to as such.Filmed in real locations the film has a very made-for-telly cheap bland look about it, it's competent but forgettable & I still don't get the red sky at the start. The acting is poor throughout, Rhett Giles doesn't seem interested, Miranda Kwok as Kathryn is terrible as are the whole cast really.The Fear Chamber is a poor serial killer thriller with supernatural overtones which is pretty bad all round really & it also features one of the most predictable twist endings ever which is a straight rip-off of The Sixth Sense anyway. Not to be confused with the classic Boris Karloff horror flick The Fear Chamber (1968).

christymedwards Well, in a nutshell, lots of no names with a soggy plot. Who are most of these people? The drinking problem storyline is way overdone! It was a good concept, but not enough attention to who they cast in the flick. I wish the cover photo was more detailed, it just looks like a scribbled drawing from a middle schooler with issues. There was some 'would be'scary moments, but its 2008, even youtube clips are scary if the watcher is caught off guard, right? Made for t.v, maybe but a motion picture? It's mainly D list at best. (maybe E, lol)I am not a pro critic, this is just my opinion. Don't get me wrong...I love horror movies, but this movie is a horror!
