IN THEATRES VS THE DVD EXPERIENCE

We saw "Fascination" in October in a theatre in Germany and we left the screening in protest because the sound was terrible. For example, the dialogue was barely audible and the music was extremely loud....The screening seemed to be totally unprofessional. Since we believed this to be the fault of the projectionist, we complained. We were told that it was not the fault of the projectionist but that the print had no dolby digital sound capability. The theatre blamed the distributor...

However, now we bought the DVD - and the experience is entirely different! Suddenly it makes sense. The manipulative aspects of the story work. I was surprised and impressed. This is the first film of the director! I read another comment that compares the film to Hitchcock. Before I saw the film on DVD , I thought this comparison was ludicrous. But now I see the point. It is not so much the suspense that makes you associate Hitchcock, but to tell this complex and incredible story nevertheless very convincingly and believable is quite an achievement. This can only be pulled off with great acting. And great acting often needs a good director...By the way, the direction reminded me more of a unique French film rather than an American formular thriller.

Alice Evans is a wonderful actress and I definitely want to see more starring roles from Adam Garcia. I already loved him in "Boot Dance" and "Coyote Ugly". He is gorgous. He can dance like the devil. He can surf. Hollywood should use him in a big action film with lots of publicity so that we girls can see more of him!
