mavtutz After reading all the wonderful reviews I was really looking forward to watching this movie. Unfortunately I found the movie disappointing to say the least. We are told that Kayce had helped police many times in the past to catch serial killers, consequently she should know the kind of information they hope to get from her. Maybe I missed something here but at no point did I hear her mention the tattoo on his right hand? This could have been a fantastic movie, the storyline was great but too many holes were present. We discover to the end that the killer could not read her mind but that of the fireman who lived next door. How then was he getting inside her head? Remember he was getting inside her head before she met the guy next door? It would have been nice to see her learning to control her gift better too in order to fight him. There were so many possibilities for this movie, it just didn't deliver for me ....

The_Void The thriller genre isn't exactly short of films that feature a psychic tapping in to the mind of a serial killer, and to be honest; I find them rather boring, but Fear isn't too bad as it makes up for it's overused plot with some fairly original ideas. The lead character is not your usual thriller protagonist, due to the fact that Ally Sheedy is not stunningly beautiful. This gives the film something in the originality department...although it loses a lot in the 'eye candy' department, especially since the cinematography isn't all that nice to look at either. The plot focuses on Cayce Bridges; a psychic who helps the police look for serial murderers. When she is brought in to a new case, there is scepticism at first; but after she reveals some intimate details about the detectives, they start to believe her. She does her usual thing with giving them crime scene and evidence details, but the killer 'links' to her without her linking to him. It becomes obvious that Cayce isn't the only one with psychic powers - and pretty soon the killer won't let her go...The film never really tries to be brilliant, and so what we end up with is a merely decent thriller that is happy to play out along the same lines as similar films. This does, however, allow the film concentrate on its own strengths. Director Rockne O'Bannon does a good job of building the suspense, and the fact that the murderer is portrayed through a gritty, sleazy voice makes sure that the film is always creepy and foreboding. The acting is nothing special, Ally Sheedy going through the motions alongside a support cast without a standout performance. The cinematography is nothing special either, and Rockne O'Bannon doesn't really seem to care about the look and feel of the film as the locations don't add anything, and the film doesn't have much in the way of atmosphere when the killer isn't on screen. Overall, Fear isn't terrible in spite of the fact that most of it is lacklustre. There are too many films like this already, so this one was always going to have a hard time standing out. However, there are worse films out there and Fear is almost worth watching.

Mister_logan5 This fantastic movie is finally released in Thailand Region 3 DVD! What a shame, but you know what? I'm buying a copy anyway! Long live Region Free DVD players! Check out ebay. Some copies are being sold! I have been watching and re-watching this movies for years. I have a worn out VHS copy that I have seen so many times, I had to buy another on ebay. So if you are a real fan, then do what you can and get a copy! Even though Eyes of Fire is largely unheard of, such films as Ravenous and The Blair Witch Project obviously borrowed many ideas from and were inspired by this film and other films of the same subgenre, which use witches, the "American Frontier", and the "Haunted Forest" plots and themes.I personally loved Eyes of Fire. I'm a major fan of western films, and have never seen a western/horror much like this before. Two key factors that work in this film are the direction by Avery Crounse. His vision and interpretation of the material is inspired. The atmosphere is absolutely awesome. We get plenty of fog, naked muddy people, and creepy faces in trees.The acting is pretty good as well. Actors like TV and movie veterans Will Hare, Fran Ryan, and Karlene Crockett do a marvelous job. It's a shame they don't get other major offers these days, because they are fine actors. Then-newcomer Guy Boyd also has a strong character as the pioneer who ends up making a big difference in the end. Boyd, for being in his first major role, does a fine job.Eyes of Fire's screenplay and story are unique and original. Usually in the Western genre, the cowboys win against the Indians, however, in Eyes of Fire, it's the other way around. Plus it takes place long before America as a nation was born.The movie also features beautiful location photography and a chilling western score by Brad Fiedel. I would strongly recommend Eyes of Fire for fans of the Horror Western genre or for people who just like a spooky ghost story.

ehoshaw I liked this movie, and I was freaked out when I caught it on Lifetime the other day. It has a really creepy atmosphere, good plot, and an excellent performance from Ally Sheedy, who plays Cayce. Cayce is a psychic who has helped the police track down kidnappers and serial killers for years. However, she soon faces an even tougher case when she tries to catch a serial killer who himself is a psychic. This has some creepy scenes with eerie blue lighting. Also, the beginning sequence is very creepy (I always feel shudders go down my spine when I hear the murderer humming while we watch the girl squirming in the backseat). I like this movie a lot, and I recommened that you go out and rent it, your video store should carry it.
