Review of The Fury

The Fury (1978)
2/10
Pretty bad and useless
12 February 2008
I thought this movie was pretty bad and useless. It was one meaningless scene after the other, with little relevance to any overall plot or direction. A search and a chase in an overlong movie. I did like the scenes with Kirk Douglas, but they didn't seem to use him a lot, surprising since he got top billing. Most of the horror was tossing around red water. I think blood is more thick and slower to drip. As one gets used to seeing red water splashed in scene after scene, it looses whatever shock value it may have had. The final scene was pretty silly, with the girl making ridiculous body and facial expressions, and the obvious use of a manikin. As others have noted, if these teens had so much power, why did any of it have to happen? Some bad movies make good background when one is doing something else. This one doesn't even come up to that standard.
