FEAR: FILM & SOUNDTRACK (1996)

FEAR: Film

Fear is a psychological thriller film, released on April 12, 1996, directed by James Foley and written by Christopher Crowe. It stars Mark Wahlberg, Reese Witherspoon, William Petersen, Alyssa Milano and Amy Brenneman. It revolves around a wealthy family whose seemingly perfect life is threatened when their teenage daughter begins dating an attractive and mysterious young man who turns out to be a violent sociopath.

The film was largely derided by critics upon its release, but became a sleeper hit in the spring of 1996, grossing $20 million at the U.S. box office. It has since become a cult film, while at the same time launching teen idol status for its two young leads – Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon – who were romantically linked at the time of the movie’s premiere. Wahlberg was nominated for the MTV Movie Award for Best Villain. The film’s own producer, Brian Grazer, described it as “Fatal Attraction for teens”. The film was a remake of 1993 Bollywood film Darr.

On May 23, 2019, it was announced that Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment would produce a remake of the film with Brian Grazer again producing, along with Karen Lunder as co-producer. Jonathan Herman was reported to adapt Crowe‘s script for a modern audience and Amandla Stenberg was in talks to star. In October 2022, it was reported that a television series adaptation of the film is in development at Peacock.
