The A.V. Club
Nearly everything about Fascination feels overdone. At its delirious worst, it's as pungent a Parisian cheese shop, offering a cornucopia of laughable scenes. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
The sort of soft-core, erotic thriller that would benefit from a lot more trash and a lot more sex. - 20
Washington Post
It plays like a soft-core-porn potboiler left over from the 1970s about a hot vampire chick. - 20
TV Guide Magazine
The less said about the story's twists and turns the better, except to warn that they become increasing preposterous with each passing minute. - 20
L.A. Weekly
So tedious is Fascination that the plot, the embittered characters and, yes, the sexuality are merely insipid. - 12
Boston Globe
I'm afraid this is one of THOSE movies, one where ''plot" is another word for ''gratuitous sex scene." - 10
Variety
Glacially paced, self-consciously acted and narratively risible. - 10
Los Angeles Times
A stupendously torpid thriller without a single redeeming quality.
