Nerds That Geek Movie Review: ‘Nothing Left to Fear’

Written by Scott Edwards 

Changing jobs and moving to new places is something that a lot of us have to do these days. Although it may or may not be necessary, everyone has to go through this at one point of another in our lives. Trying to fit in with a new crowd is one of the hardest things to do, especially if the new crowd is set in their old ways and you are not accustomed to their behaviors.
 
The Bramford’s are in the same boat, since they are moving out of the city and into the small community of Stull. Pastor Dan received an offer for the position that is going to be vacated by long time Pastor Kingsman. Not knowing what to expect for himself or his wife and three children, Dan is not detoured by the strange quirks he has noticed around the outskirts of town.

Dan’s two daughters are looking for the best things to do around town, always being best friends and standing up for each other, Mary and Rebecca are prepared to find something more. Being big city kids, they should have no issues fitting in with a smaller community and making friends. After sitting through her father’s first sermon, Rebecca is approached by a young man about her age that does not seem to be as enthralled with the church as the rest of the town. Noah has the looks and appeal that Rebecca is looking for in small town America but seems to be holding back from telling her too much about himself.

Rebecca notices that the town is a little strange but is unable to pinpoint what is really wrong with it. Having strange dreams of people watching the house along with an uninvited guest in her bedroom that tries to harm her, Rebecca feels like something is wrong but is put at ease by young Noah. Mary does not seem to notice anything strange around the town, other than biting into a cake that had a sharp tooth baked in it. But soon Mary and her family will quickly leanr that they have been chosen for something more than they signed up for.

An enjoyable horror flick, one that plays on the age old theme of trust since someone we should feel safe around in this movie, is as rotten as they come and that just stays true to an eighties style horror movie. The love between the sisters is the main highlight of this film and is exploited well when a strange sickness takes Mary from her normal state. The cast is great, and I love this movie’s out of the ordinary storyline that will slowly suck you in and keep you intrigued for the rest of the film. Keeping your family safe should always be a first priority, but when it is the family that is trying to harm you… what do you do? Stay Scared.
