    Le Fear is a feature length comedy film. Duration 62 minutes plus 22 minutes of special features.


     


     


    Plot Summary


    Carlos Revalos is a film director who has made 21 films including shorts; some of them remain unseen by the public. Le Fear is his 22nd film, a horror-love story and when he gets three million pounds to make, what can go wrong. Everything, as Carlos hires the worst cast and crew ever to walk into a film studio. Larry Rothschild, the executive producer who is financing the film was promised Brad Pitt by Carlos, but he was committed elsewhere, so Carlos hires Leon, an aspiring actor who he met in a pub. Leon walks off set time and time again. And Debbie D, a glamour model has no understanding of saying lines, she fluffs them over and over again, never having to learn any before, and together with the werewolf who never takes his raincoat off and doesn't speak English anyway, and the Sparky who is colour blind, together with more misfits that Carlos has no control over is a recipe for disaster
