Leave your thoughts about Fear.
| San Francisco ExaminerBarry WaltersForceful and well-acted. Fear truly lives up to its title. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleIt's a maddening, satisfying, junky, enjoyable picture. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyFoley has a fine sense of shading in depicting a slightly dysfunctional family. The problem with this subgenre is the way it has to demonize and dehumanize its villains in order to produce the desired effect, which brutalizes the spectator along with the story and characters. If you can accept this limitation, this is a very efficient piece of machinery. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonFear 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. |
| Los Angeles TimesJack MathewsA kinetic, visually dazzling thriller that's actually a notch above many of its predecessors - albeit only a small notch. |
| VarietyEmanuel LevyThe 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. |
| EmpireBob McCabeFear, a sort of pubescent Fatal Attraction, is derivative and often risible, in the competent hands of Foley it's also highly enjoyable. |
| Baltimore SunStephen HunterDespite a few scattered moments of visceral excitement, the only thing truly frightening about the oh-so-ominously titled Fear is how so many talented people came to be involved in so inane a project. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenA nasty little thriller that starts out on a somewhat higher plane but eventually trades in its level head for conventional scare tactics and violence. |
| User ReviewPaulaD.This is mark Wahlberg's best movie! He is so hot in it and scary!! |
