Critic Reviews

• Mark Salisbury, Time Out New York

  We can't stay interested, much less fascinated.

• Eddie Cockrell, Variety

  The only magnetism generated by ersatz black-widow Fascination is that perilous urge to slow down and peek at the roadside wreck.

• George Powell, San Francisco Chronicle

  The presence of Jacqueline Bisset is the only reason the little man hasn't left the chair.

• Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

  Klaus Menzel's laughable screenplay is not enhanced by direction not much more accomplished than that of a typical Cinemax late-night adult series.

• Rex Reed, New York Observer

  Contrived and pointless.

• Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times

  Thankfully, fades from memory as fast as most January releases.

• Nathan Rabin, AV Club

  At its delirious worst, it's as pungent a Parisian cheese shop, offering a cornucopia of laughable scenes.

• David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

  ...Fascination generally vacillates between being utterly ridiculous and flat-out boring.

• James Plath, Movie Metropolis

  For a "riveting erotic thriller," Fascination isn't riveting, it's not all that erotic, and to call it a thriller would even make Michael Jackson cringe.

• Kevin Allison, Premiere Magazine

  Fascination would be a good title for a movie that was in any way interesting.

• Todd Gilchrist, IGN Movies

  A sweaty bit of smut disguised as high-class suspense.

• Nell Minow, Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

  Lust. Betrayal. Revenge. Greed. Murder. Somehow, all of these things become dull in the preposterous and yet decidedly un-fascinating "Fascination."

• MaryAnn Johanson, Flick Filosopher

  Laughably cheap and cheesy...

• Brooke Holgerson, Boston Phoenix

  The most fascinating thing about this movie is why they thought anyone would want to see it.

• Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

  Here is an erotic thriller that instead of sizzling, fizzles.

• , E! Online

  It's a film that fully lives up to its title, because you'll leave the theater fascinated that Fascination ever made it to the big screen.

• Kim Morgan, L.A. Weekly

  So tedious is Fascination that the plot, the embittered characters and, yes, the sexuality are merely insipid.

• Luke Y. Thompson, New Times

  Blood! Hooters! Really improbable, out-of-left-field plot developments! You could do a lot worse.
