Ok I know some people might say that the movie "Fear" was a bit cheesy but think about it this way. It has a major influence and impact for teenagers today. Some people think "Oh well I would never get a boyfriend who would go throught hat much to try to kill anyone who tries to get between me and him" or "I would never have a boyfriend that would do psychotic stuff like carve a tattoo in his chest of my name and punch his chest so hard so that he would have bruises to blame it upon someone else". Well this is the 90's and there are a lot of weirdos out there that can do that and from a 16 year old's perspective(myself) this has influenced me so much to watch otu who I date. Ok enough of what my beliefs are I will get on to the good stuff. "The movie". I loved this movie. I though it was great. I could watch it over and over and never get bored over it. The main reason I saw this movie was because my #1 all time favorite actress, Alyssa Milano (Margo Masse) is in it. The movie has a great plot about it and it just gives off this great vibe "Oh I wanna watch this again", right after you watch the movie. It's basically about a 16-year old girl named Nicole Walker (Reese Witherspoon) who meets a very mysterious and sexy guy named David Mcall (Mark Wahlberg)The end up dating and she thinks he is everything and more until she finds out the dark side of him. He beats up one of her friends, Gary, rapes her best-friend Margo and then terrorizes her family in their own home. You can basically get the picture that this movie is very suspenseful and intense and keeps you off of the edge of your seat. I could see how a older adult would not like this movie very much but the more younger audience ranging from 15-30 would like it in my opinion. I could watch this movie over and over again and I think it is a great movie and I recommend it to anyone who likes suspence.
