Critics Consensus

Laughably overheated and featuring loads of cheesy dialogue, Fascination is the virtual definition of so-band-it's-good.

Nathan Rabin AV Club At its delirious worst, it's as pungent a Parisian cheese shop, offering a cornucopia of laughable scenes. Jan 8, 2008 Full Review 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. May 17, 2006 Full Review George Powell San Francisco Chronicle The presence of Jacqueline Bisset is the only reason the little man hasn't left the chair. Rated: 1/4 Jun 1, 2005 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...Fascination generally vacillates between being utterly ridiculous and flat-out boring. Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 3, 2005 Full Review Kevin Allison Premiere Magazine Fascination would be a good title for a movie that was in any way interesting. Rated: 0/4 Feb 15, 2005 Full Review Todd Gilchrist IGN Movies A sweaty bit of smut disguised as high-class suspense. Rated: 1/5 Feb 7, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Cheesy lines, contrived acting - overall joke of a film. Felt like it was a B grade film straight out of the 80s. Was surprised to discover it was made in 2004! They can't still be making such films in this decade and expect it to do well! Total waste Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Stupidest movie I have seen in a LONG time!!! If I heard that dipsh*t pour her heart out about the "true story" one more time, I was going to puke. And did they over do the sex scenes just a bit?? There is so much wrong with this movie, but I have already spent too much of my life concerning myself with it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member so bad. a waste of those minutes of my life Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review roger g Not able to stay fascinated long enough to endure the script, the acting and the purpose of this film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A very nicely filmed movie with dramatic music but a truly bad movie. I came close to stopping it several times. It claims to be a suspense movie--OK, no. Save your time, watch anything else. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member One typical, corny, unconvincing, erotic suspense thriller. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
