Fear (1996) Appreciation Thread
I've always thought this was the best of the Fatal Attraction rip-offs, and in my opinion, more entertaining and re-watchable than Fatal Attraction itself. This and Freeway are my favorite films of Reese Witherspoon, before she sold her soul to Hollywood. Mark Wahlberg is also pretty good in this, very creepy performance. And lets not forget the HOT rollercoaster scene

Marky Mark was definitely a good psycho in this, but he sounded like he had marbles in his mouth for the entire movie. He must've taken elocution lessons in the last ten years.
RW wasn't naked in this, was she?

Movies that just sharply end without any "falling action" (i.e. "wrap up" scenes) tend to piss me off--this film's one of 'em.
and it's "roll credits!"...bleh...

I love this movie, and that was a great line.

Someone likes it just for the roller coaster scene...
My brother is obsessed with this movie. There was one span of time where he watched it every single day for 2 weeks straight. It's a decent movie, but that's literally insane.

Also the films meant to push buttons and be unnerving and shocking. Thus the dog sequence is very appropriate for the film. Life is not always pretty,and the guy is a really bad guy. So he should be as evil as possible,no matter how 'upset' it makes us.

I think this film can be found for like $5 now right? I should pick it up sometime. It's been years since I saw it,but I remember enjoying it at the time.
