The Fury (1978)
Since you know I don’t normally go in for horror movies, it’ll come as no shock to you that when I sat down to watch The Fury, I didn’t know it belonged to that genre. Boy, was I in for a surprise! Lucky for me, it didn’t get that scary until the end, so I was just able to enjoy an action-packed, suspenseful Kirk Douglas movie.
The opening scene is very exciting. Kirk Douglas, his son Andrew Stevens, and his friend John Cassavetes, are enjoying a beach day, when they suddenly come under attack by terrorists! Kirk’s son is killed, but when he hears from a psychic that his son is still alive, he’s determined to find and retrieve him. Meanwhile, Amy Irving is discovering her own psychic powers while struggling in school. . .
If you like paranormal flicks, with psychic visions and scary, uncontrollable powers, The Fury will be right up your alley. I liked it for the most part, since I’m a Kirk Douglas fan—and he does have his signature shirtless scene, ladies—but I did look away a couple of times during the scary bits. Horror fans will probably love this one, especially those who like the “classic” style of hysterics and extra-red blood.
DLM Warning: If you suffer from vertigo or dizzy spells, like my mom does, this movie might not your friend. When Amy Irving has her "episodes", the camera swirls, and it will make you sick. In other words, “Don’t Look, Mom!”
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to some violence and scary images, I wouldn’t let my kids watch it.
