- 40The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe A.V. ClubNathan RabinNearly everything about Fascination feels overdone. At its delirious worst, it's as pungent a Parisian cheese shop, offering a cornucopia of laughable scenes.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe sort of soft-core, erotic thriller that would benefit from a lot more trash and a lot more sex.
- 20Washington PostMichael O'SullivanWashington PostMichael O'SullivanIt plays like a soft-core-porn potboiler left over from the 1970s about a hot vampire chick.
- 20TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThe less said about the story's twists and turns the better, except to warn that they become increasing preposterous with each passing minute.
- 20L.A. WeeklyL.A. WeeklySo tedious is Fascination that the plot, the embittered characters and, yes, the sexuality are merely insipid.
- 12Boston GlobeWesley MorrisBoston GlobeWesley MorrisI'm afraid this is one of THOSE movies, one where ''plot" is another word for ''gratuitous sex scene."
- 10VarietyEddie CockrellVarietyEddie CockrellGlacially paced, self-consciously acted and narratively risible.
- 10Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustLos Angeles TimesKevin CrustA stupendously torpid thriller without a single redeeming quality.
- 10Village VoiceMark HolcombVillage VoiceMark HolcombAvoiding this lump of low-camp lion poo couldn't be easier, what with MGM dumping it into a lone Manhattan venue, but if you're in the mood for some unscripted belly laughs or a catnap, Fascination should do the trick.
