Review of Fear (1996) by Shawn Levy for Portland Oregonian — 02 Jun 2002
Foley has a fine sense of shading in depicting a slightly dysfunctional family. The problem with this subgenre is the way it has to demonize and dehumanize its villains in order to produce the desired effect, which brutalizes the spectator along with the story and characters.
If you can accept this limitation, this is a very efficient piece of machinery.
