Sorry, this movie sucks

Instant Favorite.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

A young woman with psychic powers aids the police in tracking down murderers; an expert in psychometry, she makes associations from an object through physical contact. However, the latest serial killer on her radar, a man who feeds on his victims' fear, is also psychic and his power may be greater than hers. A novel spin on "Eyes of Laura Mars" from writer-director Rockne S. O'Bannon, who also co-produced for Vestron Pictures, who released the film to Showtime in place of a theatrical run. Despite some lapses of logic in the plotting, a surprisingly good screamer, a bit over-the-top but still exceptional for the thriller-genre. O'Bannon has given the film a handsome look and his script has smart dialogue. In the lead, Ally Sheedy takes a while to warm up; she looks lovely here, and has a few choice moments of serious acting, but too often she relies on 'cute' or coy mannerisms. Supporting cast including Michael O'Keefe as a bachelor fireman who lives next door and Lauren Hutton as Sheedy's agent are also good. Portions of Henry Mancini's score are curiously reminiscent of his soundtrack for 1967's "Wait Until Dark". O'Bannon, the screenwriter of "Alien Nation" two years prior, continued working as a writer and director in television, and proved here he has keen instincts and a great eye for visuals.

Avoid. Cringe-worthy turn with Ally Sheedy who was nowhere near up to the task of playing a psychic who helps cops solve cases. The plot basically predicts the plot of Medium (TV). I don't remember what Ally was like in the brat pack movies, but she's completely outdone by the material here, which calls for her to constantly know everything about everybody. She's like the most powerful and annoying psychic you could imagine: mostly the movie consists of excuses to have her character smart-alecky telling people what they had for breakfast, why they have a cut on their hand, etc. As in life, its all in how you do it, and they do it so ham-fistedly here its absolutely painful to watch. This is without a doubt one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Can not believe this got a theatrical release. Avoid at all costs. Oh, and hi Ally Sheedy fans and thanks for the unhelpfuls.1/10 No redeeming features whatsoever, I'm a worse person from having watched it.

This is a film that has you on the edge of your seat from the first moment. You at times wonder to yourself wait a moment who is good and who is bad here. a very well done guessing game at the same time boo scare you film.One reason I say it is so well done is because it is a made for t.v. movie and in my opinion not many made for t.v. movies are that well produced. However this is done in great theatre style well worth checking out if you are a horror/thriller genre fan. Ally Sheedy gives a great preformances going away from comedy and into serious here

As soon as the movie begins, we know how it's going to end. And yet "Fear" stays captivating the whole time. What makes it so interesting is the exploration of human emotion: the use of fear as a tool of communication. Yes, this is a movie about psychics and psychopaths, but it's also a movie about exploring the depth of human understanding.
