WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Grumnarrh I don't want to say anything else about the sheer crappyness of this thing as all there is to it is already said. I just want to point out that, with one exception, every single one of the "users" that give more than four stars to it has so far contributed only one review. Don't get me wrong, I'd never dare to question someones taste in movies. But if a unquestionably and objectively horrible movie like this gets reviews which are as unrealistic and obviously unjustified as the ones here it really makes me wonder. So if I had the impression that there could be any way to believe that all these cheerful posters could actually be more than one person i wouldn't say anything. But in this case i feel obliged to warn everyone who hasn't seen this movie to avoid it at all costs. Ed Wood would hide his face in shame if he had done this.

mpmurr I caught this film by chance as my wife fell asleep on the sofa and this was on when I woke her up. I was interested to hear Alice Evans's voice so I sat down and tried to watch the film. I really tried, honestly I really did, but I was totally taken aback by the total lack of acting skills of the main characters. I was stunned at how wooden the actors were. I just can't explain how so much money was spent on such a disaster of a film. I have seen bad films that turned out to be funny because they were trying to be serious, but this wasn't even funny. It was just bad. I guess the producers spent all their cash on getting the "name" i.e. Jacquiline Bisset, and the other $1000 was spent making the film. I think that the director must not have visited Key West as the movie was made in PR and that is nothing like South Florida. But did you notice something suspicious about lots of the reviews here on IMDb? They're all loving the movie! what planet were they living on? How much did the studio pay people to go online and write positive reviews? Thank goodness that IMDb weight the rating as they can tell who has seen a movie and who is paid to say it. PS. Daryl Haney gets a minus 5 for writing a disaster of a script. He should stick to his soft-core porn scripts e.g. Emmanuelle-Queen of the Galaxy and Lady Chatterley's Stories, where the script doesn't really matter.

jheisel Someone probably should have told the producers/directors of Fascination that a thriller is, by definition, supposed to be thrilling. Instead, this movie contains one of the funniest opening sequences ever: a buff older dude goes out for a swim, then on his way back to shore, a wave knocks him into a rock, his head hits with a big CRACK, and he drowns. Opening credits roll, with the unintentionally funny "Based on a screenplay by ..." two writers getting a chuckle out of me. Especially when it was followed by "Written, Produced and Directed by Klaus Menzel". Anyway, old dude's wife quickly remarries, throwing her son (Kangaroo Jack voice Adam Garcia) into a bit of a tizzy, which is only resolved when he meet new hubby's daughter, and they get their sex on. A series of unlikely events happen -- the best of which is Garcia and his lawyer buddy exhuming the former's father to perform a toxicology test -- and Garcia's suspicions of the new husband keep mounting. Like many other movies I have watched recently, this would probably make for an enjoyable enough afternoon on TBS/TNT/USA/etc. I honestly think that movies like this need to have their monotony broken up by commercials. Interestingly, this was not a made-for-TV move, but rather an MGM-financed $5,000,000-budget big-screen flop that opened on 10 screens nationwide and grossed a lot less than its budget. How much less? 1/10 would've been nice, but not even close. There are some sexy sex scenes though, so it's not all bad -- Alice Evans is a babe wicked stepsister. I would give it a 3.5 basically for that, but the end of this movie totally blew (even following what came before it), and right before the credits roll there is a joke (I assume it's a joke!) ad for Garcia's character's first album, ballads based on his pseudo-incestuous relationship with his sister. That brings this movie into solid 2.5-3.0 territory -- IMDb says 3.7, so hey!

electrictina I really liked "Fascination" and agree with many of the users: it is a joyride, Adam Garcia is sexy, the locations are gorgeous. But it's not just a story about a son who suspects his mother of murdering his dead, it is also about a woman who lived in a loveless marriage and now wants to live the life she had thought she'd have. The director Klaus Menzel also tells this part beautifully and gives it equal weight in a story that could easily be just about thrills and passion, but really is about something more: love as a catalyst and as a chain that binds. And as a dangerous business. I hate to say it, but this film is much deeper than most people (even those who like it) give it credit for.
