Product Description

First love can be innocent or intense, intoxicating...or insatiable. Mark Wahlberg, Reese Witherspoon and Alyssa Milano star in this riveting suspense-thriller about a passionate romance that soon becomes a deadly obsession. Nicole Walker (Witherspoon) always dreamed of being swept away by someone special - someone strong, sexy and sensitive who would care for her more than anything else in the world. David (Wahlberg) is all that and more: a modern-day knight who charms and seduces her, body and soul. But her perfect boyfriend is not all he seems to be. His sweet facade masks a savage, dark side that will soon transform Nicole's dream into a nightmare. Also starring William Petersen and Amy Brenneman, and featuring a killer soundtrack, this provocative thriller will lure you past the brink of terror and keep you on the edge of your seat!

Keanu Reeves ignites this action-packed, "superbly crafted thriller that zooms along like a sinister video game of hunter and prey!" (Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper and the Movies) After years of pursuing psychotic killers in Los Angeles, FBI agent Joel Campbell (James Spader) wants out. And now his nemesis, serial killer David Allen Griffin (Reeves), has tracked him all the way to Chicago just to torment him. Before each murder, Griffin sends Campbell a photograph of his intended victim and dares him to find her before he strikes again. Now, with every tick of the clock, and amidst pulse-pounding action, this stone-cold killer turns up the heat. Co-starring Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei, this game of cat and mouse will have you gasping for breath from its first terrifying frame until its final explosive conclusion!

From master-of-terror Brian De Palma comes this stylish psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final frame. Carter Nix (John Lithgow) is a respected psychologist, loving husband and devoted father who decides to take a year off to help raise his daughter. Carter's wife Jenny (Lolita Davidovich) is pleased to have her attentive husband home - at first. When Carter shows obsessive behavior toward their daughter, Jenny becomes concerned, and to complicate matters, Jenny's old flame (Steven Bauer) re-enters her life. But nothing can prepare her for the emergence of Carter's multiple personalities, and a fiendish plot to recreate the infamous, experiments of his deranged father. It all adds up to a roller coast ride of heart-pounding suspense and stunning visuals in a film the New York Times calls "a delirious thriller."

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value for three suspense thrillers, December 4, 2008

By	z hayes (plano,texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)

This DVD is a 3-movie pack containing "Fear" & "The Watcher" on one DVD and "Raising Cain" on the other. Although all three are older movies, the quality of the DVD transfer is pretty decent [not outstanding] and all three are also R-rated.

In "Fear" Reese Witherspoon plays a naive teen who falls head over heels with Mark Wahlberg's troubled adolescent and soon realises that Mr Perfect may not be so perfect after all. It is a well-told tale of teen love, and dangerous obsession.

In "The Watcher", James Spader plays a retired FBI agent Joel Campbell who is haunted by a past case where a serial killer caused his lover's death. The serial killer David Allen is played [not very credibly] by Keanu Reeves who refuses to let Joel rest and follows him to Chicago where he continues his grisly 'work', sending pictures of intended victims, and forcing Joel back on the case. Marisa Tomei plays Joel's shrink, though her role is quite small here. The real star is Spader - his anguish over the past and his determination to put an end to Allen's killing spree shines through in every frame.

"Raising Cain" is directed by Brian de Palma and focuses on John Lithgow, a respected psychologist who harbors a dark secret from his past [having to do with his father] and how his multiple personalities affect his sanity - resulting in a macabre plot to relive his father's sinister experiments on children. John Lithgow's performance alone makes this a worthwhile viewing experience.

All in all, I'd recommend this DVD set to fans of psychological and suspense thrillers.
