Critic Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalle

It's a maddening, satisfying, junky, enjoyable picture.

Washington Post | Hal Hinson

Fear is pretty much a cheap-thrills fix; the ideas, such as they are, function as window dressing. Still, cheap though these thrills may be, they are genuinely thrilling.

Variety | Emanuel Levy

The thriller telegraphs most of its suspense payoffs, and the audience is almost always ahead of the game. What's most disappointing is that the characters begin as well-etched individuals, but are gradually turned into mere plot functions.

ReelViews | James Berardinelli

A kinetic, visually dazzling thriller that's actually a notch above many of its predecessors - albeit only a small notch.

The New York Times | Stephen Holden

A nasty little thriller that starts out on a somewhat higher plane but eventually trades in its level head for conventional scare tactics and violence.

The most horrible and gross and violent movie I have ever seen!

"I am about to write to more important people in this Country with remarks about your movie producers and actors. No wonder there are so many murders in our society today. What ever happened to "clean-cut" movies? No wonder why children of "today" are so disrespectful and violent! Any actor who would stoop that low to get a part in a movie like this one needs to take a good, hard look at themselves. It's a shameful movie! What a sad message being sent out to the youth of today. Get a life! Make life worth living! Clean up your act! What must the parents of those 3 young girls think of their "actor" daughters? It's a crime they have to stoop that low. The rating I'd give this movie is the lowest a movie can get."

Fear

"Fear is a very good suspenseful thriller. I dont know how the critics didnt like it. It will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I think a lot of people will be surprised at how realistic this movie is. Buy Fear and never trust the next person you meet."
