This is as middle-of-the-road as it gets, something no one will remember minutes after it wraps and, for this reason, will likely prompt very few to express anything overwhelmingly negative or the opposite.

Those who fell victim to the over-the-top animosity directed at Amber Heard during the Johnny Depp trial – as chronicled in the docuseries “Depp v. Heard” – will alas have fresh ammunition thanks to “In the Fire,” a pretty awful starring vehicle for the actor that she also produced, a film unlikely to produce many sparks beyond those set off by the morbidly curious.

Amber heard shines in this supernatural thriller. I love that she has fully embraced the horror genre. What a staple!

Great movie. It went places I did not expect and explored nuances in those unexpected channels.

Anyone that ignores the intense review-bombing (aided by some so-called "critics") that this mystery thriller has endured ever since its release and decides to watch it will, I believe, agree that it is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. Indeed, the film explores personal, social, religious, and political issues via a gripping suspense-filled narrative that is wonderfully backed up by beautiful and thematic visuals as well as outstanding performances, makeup, and costumes. With respect to performances, Amber Heard (as Grace Burnham) does an outstanding job balancing the doctor-mother relationship that Grace has with Martin (Lorenzo McGovern Zaini) while also successfully managing to authentically portray the emotional and mental burdens and conflicts that Grace experiences throughout the movie owing to a clash between her own beliefs and those of the villagers. Lorenzo Zaini, Eduardo Noriega and Luca Calvani are also perfect in their respective roles. In short, I' advice that you skip all the transparently disingenuous negative reviews of this movie (that have nothing to do with its cinematic value and everything to do with attacking Amber Heard) and just watch it for yourself. If you're someone that appreciates a good indie movie that both entertains you and makes you think, I am confident that you will love this one.

Terribly written, poor dialogue, bizarre pacing, acting is either wooden or camp and overly embellished. Waste of time. Just unengaging.
