The Fury Reviews
De Palma was neither invested nor inspired.
| Feb 13, 2025
There’s an ecstatic element in Brian De Palma’s new thriller The Fury: he seems to extend the effects he’s playing with about as far as he can without losing control.

It's not for the faint-hearted, the impressionable or for children It is for those who enjoy the kind of suspenseful horror film that never quite lets you on the edge of your seat and makes you believe the world it creates.

...a somewhat forgettable yet mostly watchable thriller...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 17, 2021
It is convoluted, confused and confusing. It has a serviceable enough idea for a genre melodrama of this sort but it has not been properly worked out.

The Fury is the best De Palma film I know, the most perfect, the less incoherent. [Full Review in Spanish]

Carrie it ain't, but Carrie had .a good suspense-mounting plot; The Fury just assaults you scene after scene without getting Peckinpah gory.

De Palma's main characteristic here is great restraint - or, some would just say, patience.

Gripping, goofy, gonzo cinema, among the best of its kind.

A hangout movie when all's said and done.

Above average supernatural doings with Kirk Douglas and some paranormal youngsters.

This more streamlined thriller about another telekinetic girl (Amy Irving) has few supporters, but it revealed further development in De Palma's storytelling skills.

The movie that draws the deepest line in the sand between De Palma apologists and De Palma maniacs.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 4, 2006
An often overlooked De Palma effort. A highly entertaining supernatural thriller with a number of visually stunning set pieces and an unforgettably explosive finish.

One of De Palma's flawed-yet-fascinating early experiments.

De Palma's follow up to "Carrie." Look for Darryl Hannah in her first role.
