The film Fear, directed by James Foley and penned by Christopher Crowe, features Mark Wahlberg, Reese Witherspoon, William Petersen, Alyssa Milano, and Amy Brenneman in the cast. Carter Burwell composed the music, and Thomas Kloss served as cinematographer. Falling within a group of psycho-sexual thrillers that appeared during the eighties and nineties, Fear centers around teenagers. Witherspoon portrays a young woman who welcomes drifter David McCall (Wahlberg) into her world, only to discover he’s profoundly disturbed. Foley and his collaborators then create a movie that borrows elements from several films with similar themes. Viewers familiar with this genre will likely recognize the main plot points, and the story's developments don't offer much in the way of surprises. Despite its lack of originality regarding structure and storyline, Fear remains consistently engaging, even during moments when Wahlberg gazes at Witherspoon with a lovesick expression. The film builds suspense leading up to a violent conclusion, and it’s also refreshing to see some attention paid to developing the characters who are threatened. Kloss's photography showcasing various Seattle locations is visually striking, as is Burwell’s musical score. All of the acting performances are quite strong, with no one detracting from the overall effect. It can be described as a combination of teenage Cape Fear, Straw Dogs, and Fatal Attraction, but it works well despite those influences. 7/10
