    Saw this when it came out. Remember it as different, fast paced, with a herky jerky style. The most entertaining actor was Cassavetes

    while inferior to brain de palmas previous film to this... "carrie"... there are some interesting moments. it's usually good to see kirk douglas when he's on screen and the scene at the end where a baddie literally explodes is fun. however it never really escapes its pedestrianism

    Mediocre. The entire movie should have focused on the psychic teenagers rather than deviating between that and Peter's spy-thriller story line. Furthermore, the psychic abilities of Gillian and Robin weren't developed or explained at all. Why did they have them and what did it mean? Off the top of my head, there was one good scene that played out entirely in slow-motion when Gillian escaped from the clinic (I felt bad for Hester - she was the only character I really liked). But that hardly saves the movie from almost total confusion and tedium.

    This movie is pretty crazy. I wonder why Pauline Kael thought it was good? John Williams wrote a pretty good score for the only time he worked with Brian De Palma.

    A pretty cool horror/sci-fi/thriller from Brian DePalma that was obviously his getting the whole "telekenetic" thingout of his system after making CARRIE. This isn't as good as that, but it does have its moments....particularly the final scene.

    An early Brian De Palma but some of his classic traits were already surfacing here.It paces steadily enough to keep your interest but does have a few lulls.Another brilliant De Palma ending to satisfy even the most bloodthirsty viewer.

    This had to have been a low point in De Palma's career. Props for experimentation, though. At least we get to see the guy at the end blow up from something like 13 different camera angles. For that alone, The Fury will remain in a soft spot in my heart. Oh, and The Flintstones syndrome during the scene of the city scape projected behind the bus, where we get to see it pass by the same store 5 or 6 times.

    Unfortunately lost me early on in the film. I found it lacked a strong direction and destination, and I couldn't really feel where it was going. However, all of the actors (Kirk Douglas & John Cassavetes) clearly put their hearts into it and pulled off strong characters!

    Plot is a bit confusing but it is beautiful photographed. John Williams' score is one of his best albeit somewhat depressing.

    Wild, bloody phantasmagoria from De Palma contains great performances from Douglas, Cassavetes and, especially, Amy Irving, in her best role. I love this movie.

    A next generation Hitchcock thriller. Without a doubt rough around the edges, and quite dated, but an important film to see. Influential and innovative in a way.
