What the? I mean don't even watch this movie. As much as I wanted to turn off the tv I didn't just to see if it got better, but it got worse. Let's just say I wanted to blow up the tv after this movie. I can't believe I wasted my time. what a waste.

Critic Reviews
Fortunately, Turturro's subtle turn keeps our emotional connection solid even when the story skates on thin ice. Full Review
The story, in the end, is less than satisfying and, unfortunately, doesn't match the movie's eerie style. Full Review
With an elliptical style and open-ended interpretations, it is definitely not for those who like their mysteries spelled out and tied up neatly. Full Review
Grimly austere barely begins to describe the atmosphere of dread that seeps through Fear X like a toxic mist. Full Review
It's half a movie, but a half that hums. Full Review
The director captures a sense of hazy, harrowing obsession that's amplified by his immaculate camera set-ups and pans. Full Review
A Middle American psychological crime thriller agreat portion of which plays out none too rationally inside its protagonist's head.
