Dwayne B. @Dwayne_Barkers_World Jun 16 I went into Cape Fear (1991) completely blind. I’d seen a trailer for the new Cape Fear series and mentioned it to a friend, who told me there was an original movie with the same name. So I watched it with zero expectations — and wow. Robert De Niro is absolutely terrifying as Max Cady, a completely unhinged psychopath who spends 14 years in prison plotting revenge on the lawyer he believes wrongfully put him there. De Niro sells every second of it. Fair warning: a lot of scenes are brutal and not for the faint of heart. The film makes a chilling point about how prison can warp a man — Cady goes in dangerous, but comes out a full-blown monster.

The other standout is Juliette Lewis. She is 15 year old target of Max Cady’s sexual depravity. And she conveys innocence and precocity with such precision you feel terrified for her when tries to seduce her. Of course the original score,re-used here still packs a wallop.

The cast is superb across the board, especially Robert DeNiro as Max Cady, giving one of his best performances as a monster with a nice mix of intelligence and integrity. The rest of cast is equally excellent, especially Juliette Lewis as Danielle, a young woman both intrigued yet fearful of Cady. Behind the camera, Martin Scorcese crafts a fun remake that leans into the horror direction (Cady is almost supernatural in his abilities) while making the conflict more nuanced (having Bowden, played nicely by Nick Nolte, being his lawyer who threw Cady's original case adds some nice shades of grey to their conflict). However, Scorcese's direction gets too stylized and over the top a times, taking away from the horror. Overall, still a scary watch, largely thanks to DeNiro's performance. See more S. O @Col._Angus May 23 This is a great take on a story, shown in a Hitchcockian way. Definitely recommend. Is it wrong that I was rooting for Max the whole way? See more Read all reviews
