That was an excellent one.
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Blistering performances.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The story was fantastic and scary as hell. You can feel the intensity and anxiety that the movie sends to the viewers. However, the ending was lacking impact. It seemed too rushed. It's worth watching for a good thrill. Very creepy
This movie begins with a psychic named "Cacye Bridges" (Ally Sheedy) helping police catch a serial killer before he can murder yet another victim. Four years later Cacye and her agent, "Jessica Moreau" (Lauren Hutton) are in the process of marketing her new book when Cayce suddenly gets a vision of yet another serial killer at work. Known as "the Shadow Man" (played by Pruitt Taylor Vince) this homicidal maniac is extremely clever and elusive for a good reason—he is also psychic. Not only that but he has tapped into Cayce's psychic wavelength and communicates with her while he is in the act of killing his next victim. And he feeds on her fear as well as everybody else. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that, while it didn't have much horror, it had some good suspense and mystery here and there which kept things interesting for the most part. I also liked the performance of Ally Sheedy who played her part rather well. In any case, this was a solid thriller which I believe those interested in a film of this sort might find entertaining. I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
this film was so campy and badly overacted,ally's scene especially at the restaurant,reminded me of the hilarious scene in "the birds" with tippy oh,oh,oh ,ohing when the birds are trying to get in the house.i think it would make a great cult film.i do realize it was early in ally's career and she did improve with age. Lauren Hutton was classy and professional and i wondered why she hasn't been utilized more by the Hollywood film community. also an error seems to be when the killer first rings the doorbell,the old woman opens it,but in the flashback the scenario changes.also what was the significance of her not getting the right puzzle piece for the neighbor.i think the director must believe his viewing audience has the mentality of a herd of goats! ie,the scene when ally comes to establish her "credentials: to the 2 police officers,her psychic revelations went on ad infinitum.she covered everything except what kind of underwear they wore'We get It
FEAR isn't the best thriller film around but it sustained my interest and kept me watching till the end.The best thing about the film is the performance of Pruitt Taylor Vince as The Shadow Man. Pruitt Taylor Vince is one the greatest actors around and although this part is not nearly meaty enough for an actor of his talents, it was nonetheless interesting to see one of his earlier roles.
