Ratings and reviews

Is a very dark desire indeed. Fear story follows along that story line. Yet it's Mark Wahlberg's volatile character who hides behind a good guy facade that made this movie a lovely dirty pleasure to watch. I highly recommended this movie for anyone who wants to see when a "good" boyfriend becomes a nightmare.

I have always been a fan of Markie Mark, lol, but this movie shows that our favorite good guy is able to step outside his regular roles and really play a creepy, sadistic person. I admit, I prefer his regular roles, but this movie stands out for me as one of my favorites by him.

They say you'll always remember your first, in this movie this believed to be true. David was willing to risk anything to be with the one he loved including killing. Love the Rollercoaster scene, by far one of my favs movies!
