Nicole Walker always dreamed of being swept away by someone special — someone strong, sexy and sensitive who would care for her more than anything else in the world. David is all that and more: a modern-day knight who charms and seduces her, body and soul. But her perfect boyfriend is not all he seems to be. His sweet facade masks a savage, dark side that will soon transform Nicole's dream into a nightmare.

Behind the nostalgia inducing baggy checked shirts, GameBoys and oppressively 90s soundtrack is a decent sociopathic villain, it's just a shame he's imbued in bottomless melodrama and endless soap-operatic conflict that cheapens any level of tension before it has a chance to grip. I'm sure many will get a kick out of the campiness and memeworthy cringe, but it only served to annoy and frustrate me.

I hadn't watched _Fear_ since it was originally released. Man, it is way more tense than I remember. What starts as a fun 1990s time capsule, quickly turns into a dark thriller, then an even more intense home-invasion horror movie. The movie is about a toxic relationship - and I'm just saying toxic to save time here - between Nicole, and David. Nicole is a high-school girl, she meets David, who seems to be the perfect guy, but the mask soon starts to slip. The performances are all pretty solid here, even Marky Mark, in his first leading role. Alyssa Milano was great here, too bad she didn't have a bigger part. I really like the soundtrack, featuring not one, but two songs from Bush. Totally worth a watch. Very '90s. I'd recommend this to fans of _The Crush_ (1993).

Probably shouldn't have watched this after seeing 'Wild Things'... It was a bit of a let down.
So this movie popped up in a list of movies to watch after you've seen Wild Things and thus I did... expecting some of the same.
This one is a classic tale of 'should've listened to dad'. A quality cast More
