Fascination (2004)
This film is a Winner!
25 March 2005
Of THE WORST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN Award. I was dragged to a screening because one of my partners knows the producer Klaus Menzel. Thank God I didn't pay for it, I would have walked out and demanded my money back in the first 30 minutes.

Here's what sucked: 1. BAD CASTING(or bad acting?): NO chemistry at all between Adam Garcia and Alice Evans. There are a few love scenes which even appear as if she is going to crush him, literally. Total turn off.

2. CHEESY: The music was out of a 1980's Knightrider episode, not to mention the opening title of the film was reminiscent of this era/genre as well.

3. BAD STORY: No one cared about Scott's (Adam Garcia's) plight to find out what happened to his dad. Some how he just wasn't convincing anyone. He seemed rather disinterested and so were we.

4. Gratuitous LOVE SCENES: Not sure if this Alice Evans actress is just not attractive at all or what, but I really began to dread seeing her breasts or any part of her for that matter.

5. RANDOM MOANING/BREATHY SOUND EFFECTS: Every time a love scene would ensue there would be some moaning, sexy sound effects, kind of like a soft porn or something. What's worst is these moans and breathy sounds were also heard when a scene would change. What in the world were they thinking? 6. KLAUS MENZEL: Not sure what goes on in this man's head, but he shouldn't be allowed to direct or be in films, unless maybe they are porn. He has a cameo in some club scene where he tries (unsuccesfully) to come on to Alice Evans. He tries to be sexy or something, he is so unappealingly SLIMY. From what I've heard from various people as well as meeting him personally, this is not far from who he really is.

7. FILM GRADE: It looked like cheap grade film, granted the locations were beautiful, but tarnished by this film stock.

8. OVERALL BAD European STYLE AND FEEL: I have 2 words for the overall style and feel of this film, EURO and TRASH.

9. HORRIBLE ENDING: Couldn't it just have ended sooner? Adam Garcia takes her back but not even he seems to know why? They make out again, on the beach, cheesy passion, breathy sounds-- good God can someone please just END THIS?!?? People in the audience even laughed at this, and clapped not because it was good but because it was OVER.

Jacqueline Bisset and Stuart Wilson were the only good thing about this. Too bad they had to be encapsulated in this nonsense of a film.
