  • fast film with lots of unexpected turns

    judith-cierzynski2005-05-10

    "Fascination" is an extremely fast film. I guess I personally would have liked it to takes things a little bit slower. The plot takes turns that you wouldn't possibly expect and the film evolves into a more complex story by the minute. The character you've just grown to like and trust might turn out to be driven by some strong sinister motive just the next scene. So you end up feeling mistrust towards basically anybody quite soon. Adam Garcia's acting is excellent. So is Jacqueline Bisset's. Garcia's mourning for his father is quite authentic. Moreover, his dazzling physical appearance is bound to appeal to the entire female audience. He's real cute. I am sure, we'll hear more from him in the future. I've seen the German cut and I guess it must be somewhat more revealing than the American version in this sense. I liked the film even though those who argues that the ending was rather unusual may have a point. ...So go and see for yourself.

  • How unfascinating!

    Chrysanthepop2007-08-25

    I really should have checked IMDb before watching this mess. It is a bad movie. Direction and writing is very amateurish. There are shots of the rainbow above the sea. Was that supposed to be symbolic or did the director just put it there because it looked nice? There are several plot holes and the characters are badly written. Adam Garcia takes his shirt off more than he acts. Alice Evans seems to show potential but this half-baked role does nothing to confirm. Stuart Wilson is very bad too. The only one who did act is Jacqueline Bisset. Why is this woman doing terrible movies? 'Fascination' may qualify as soft-core (even though the love-scenes were very unconvincing). It is quite a waste of time and should have been rightfully called 'Unfascination'.

  • Crappiest movie I have seen in recent times

    rajanxxx2006-10-21

    A great DVD cover and a good storyline on the back of it was enough to fool me into buying it.So in case you have bought it and have not yet seen it then let it be that way. The complicated relations remind me of cheap B grade thrillers where double crosses are inevitably followed by a triple cross.The acting was below average and Alice Evans in particular was horrible.The way she talked with that twangy accent( don't know where that comes from but I am sure it was unintentional on her part) was really awful.Too few characters and too much complicity for a storyline which ain't fit even for an amateur movie. Klaus Menezel should stop directing movies if this is what he is good at.

  • Film Noir in Sunny Setting

    clinton_hulig2004-11-05

    "Fascination" is a film that really delights in circumventing, undermining and blatantly avoiding your expectations - and I mean that as a compliment. The movie starts out not with a murder but with an accident: Patrick Doherty, wealthy businessman, goes for a swim and never comes back – well, not alive that is. His body is thrown on the rocks of his beach-front property. Cause of death: drowning. His son Scott (Adam Garcia) deeply mourns his father's death; but when his mother (Jacqueline Bisset) announces marriage-plans soon after, his mourning turns to something darker, deeper, maybe Oedipal. His new step dad's sexy daughter has an even darker suspicion: could their parents have killed his dad and maybe – some years earlier – maybe her mother. The two step-siblings quickly fall in lust and investigate – but this thriller-turn doesn't even do justice to what director Klaus Menzel keeps brooding beneath the surface. Nobody can be trusted. Love without trust is impossible – but, boy, does it make for hot sex! In the end we don't even care who killed whom – but we deeply care about the love-story. It's not about Scott getting the girl, but if he will be foolish enough to lose her. She might not be trustworthy, but she's certainly the hottest alleged murderess since Sharon Stone got hold of an ice-pick.

  • Don't bother with this movie

    robjewelle2005-07-15

    If you like watching F grade movies this may be the right one for you. I'm all for independent film making, but they should be good independent movies. The acting is horrific and the script just has too many holes in it to allow you to get into the film. Momentum is lost at almost every scene change. A great idea, but obviously not enough time or $$$ to make it what it should have been. Does the film qualify for distribution?? I don't think so. If you are looking for a good thriller with suspense, mystery, ACTING!!, try taking a look at "BLINK" (no pun intended). Another movie to watch would be "SLIVER".
