Diagonaldi Very well executed

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Uriah43 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.

mavtutz After reading all the wonderful reviews I was really looking forward to watching this movie. Unfortunately I found the movie disappointing to say the least. We are told that Kayce had helped police many times in the past to catch serial killers, consequently she should know the kind of information they hope to get from her. Maybe I missed something here but at no point did I hear her mention the tattoo on his right hand? This could have been a fantastic movie, the storyline was great but too many holes were present. We discover to the end that the killer could not read her mind but that of the fireman who lived next door. How then was he getting inside her head? Remember he was getting inside her head before she met the guy next door? It would have been nice to see her learning to control her gift better too in order to fight him. There were so many possibilities for this movie, it just didn't deliver for me ....

jdollak I picked up this movie because it was paired with the movie Parents, which is spectacular. I had no particular interest in Fear, but I never turn down a horror movie.The premise of this movie actually makes it sound much more boring than it is. It's handled pretty well, and I never felt like it was dull.But the writing ignores some very basic things. Her abilities seem to vary throughout the movie. This isn't too bad, but her description of her powers does not reflect what she actually does.But the thing that seriously bothered me was how much information she didn't share. She sees the tattoo that the killer has, and she never mentions it. She finds out where the killer is at that moment, and no one bothers to report it to the police? She even saw that a policeman was at that location, and all it would take is a few phone calls.I don't mind these sorts of things, except that by not addressing them, the movie came across sloppy.I have to praise the ending though. It would be typical to make it so the killer is someone we've seen periodically throughout the movie, but this one bucks that.

lost-in-limbo Since it's fallen into the cracks it's not to be confused with the more popular mid-nineties teen thriller of the same title starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg. Director Rockne. S O'Bannon's 1990 'Fear" is a by-the-numbers, but highly intriguing and low-key psychic / detective thriller with a maturely inspired and gallant lead performance by 80s brat pack star Ally Sheedy. There's no denying it's systematic with its developments, but the escalating psychological tension that's brewing between the two psychics' (the psychotic killer and the renowned tracker) unsettling connection is impulsively gripping and disorienting. The telepathic communication between the two is mentally nail-biting, and so is the linking POV imagery (blue tinting) of seeing what each other is doing. The harrowing material really does toy us around, drawing upon the threatening nature and adrenaline rush of creating a real sense of fear. Henry Macini's stomping, but eerie score truly gets under the skin and Robert Stevens' cinematography is sharply shot. O'Bannon keeps it sure-footed and taut; as he lets the story leisurely unfolds (giving time to explore the characters) to only break the ice with hysterically intense and twisted short pockets. Pruitt Taylor Vince's unnervingly immoral performance as the psychic murderer is nothing but convincingly good. The supporting cast featuring Michael O'Keefe, Lauren Hutton and Stan Shaw give collected and likable portrayals. Occupying an interesting cameo role at the beginning is the iconic John Agar.
