January 6, 2011I didn't get to see the whole movie, but it seemed okay from what I saw. The story is good and pretty interesting, I really want to see the rest of this movie.

November 14, 2010So bad it was entertaining. Plot was nearly impossible to follow, topped off with some really bad acting and script. If it was a recent film, would have turned it off in disgust, but the 70's setting gave it a kitschy quality it perhaps didn't really deserve. By the over the top ... read more

September 30, 2010This very watchable film from Brian DePalma is worth seeing just to see John Cassavetes explode. The meta symbolism is breathtaking.

March 30, 2010It wasnâ??t the best idea to follow up Carrie with another film about psychics, but this certainly isnâ??t bad. The parallel storylines of Kirk Douglas and Amy Irving were very interesting and almost completely different in style. On the one hand it feels like a spy thriller and ... read more

February 5, 2010This one was really really good. Much better than some of his other stuff at the time.

September 28, 2009Another "blast from my past" that would have beem better left to my original memory.
I remember being really impressed (and frieghtened) by this when (as a teenager) we rented it from the video store.
This time around it seemed painfully slow and at times horribly predictable. ... read more -
March 15, 2009Brian De Palma's follow-up to Carrie is another supernatural thriller about teens with psychic abilities. Former government agent Peter Sandza searches for his missing son, kinapped by a close associate in order to harness his paranormal abilities for evil. Along the wa... read more

November 30, 2008The Fury is an entertaining, yet disjointed thriller that seems to be a combination of David Cronenberg's "Scanners", and a 007 Bond film. The 007 character is played by Douglas, an agent for a super-secret government agency. While living in the middle east, he's attacked by ag... read more

January 25, 2008One of De Palma's most fascinating films, this parapsychological thriller is surely the most downbeat mainstream film of the Seventies. Not a critical favourite, I actually like this one a lot. The first couple of times you watch it it just feels like a series of striking set-pie... read more

July 30, 2007A battle of telekinetic powers combined with terrorism. Great theme music. Imy Irving is great in this film. There's a bloody showdown at the end. The rest is somewhat forgettable. I was too young to understand the exact plot of this film, and not interested enough to re-visit it... read more

Douglas Pratt, DVDLaser
a pointless but exciting mishmash of action scenes and psychic effects, supported by a cast of reliable and attractive performers.
March 18, 2007
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
This more streamlined thriller about another telekinetic girl (Amy Irving) has few supporters, but it revealed further development in De Palma's storytelling skills. Full Review

Eric Henderson, Slant Magazine
The movie that draws the deepest line in the sand between De Palma apologists and De Palma maniacs. Full Review

Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily
An often overlooked De Palma effort. A highly entertaining supernatural thriller with a number of visually stunning set pieces and an unforgettably explosive finish.

Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
One of De Palma's flawed-yet-fascinating early experiments.

Michael A. Smith, Nolan's Pop Culture Review
De Palma's follow up to "Carrie." Look for Darryl Hannah in her first role.
June 12, 2004
Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
Seriously unnerving.

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
DePalma's most-underrated movie. Full Review

Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
A guilty pleasure horror outing, with a dynamite finale that's a blast!
