The Fury (1978)
Member Rating:  
Brian De Palma returns to the mind-blowing potential of telekinesis in the follow-up to his 1976 horror hit Carrie. While vacationing with his psychic son, Robin (Andrew Stevens), and close associate Childress (John Cassavetes), government agent Peter Sandza (Kirk Douglas) survives a terrorist attack, only to discover that it was staged by Childress so he could kidnap Robin for his own nefarious purposes. With the assistance of another psychic (William Finley) and Hester (Carrie Snodgress), an employee at the Paragon Institute for Psychic Research, Peter discovers a telekinetic Chicago high-school girl named Gillian (Amy Irving), who may be able to help him find Robin. Even though they have never met, Gillian can see Robin's memories and experiences telepathically, and she knows that he is in trouble. But Childress knows all about Gillian, too, and he is not about to let Peter's paternal quest get in the way of his plans for harnessing their psychic power. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

That's the way I ended up... Fury-ous! There are much better early De Palma flix - try Carrie, Obsession or Dressed To Kill. This seemed like a 2 hour setup for an exploding head.

I guess this is one of those movies you either hate or love. There are outright comedic moments, and even the stuff that should be overly dramatic consciously evokes a kind of half-life (as in the superb ending, which will pretty much solidify whatever your feelings for this film were before). All in all, it's very entertaining, and worth a rent even if you end up hating it.

Classic old school horror movie that plays out a little more like an action/drama. Great acting and some fun sequence of events. Give it a rent.

I was unable to play the DVD. Apparently this copy wasn't formatted for my player.
