Starring Jacqueline Bisset, Adam Garcia, Alice Evans, and James Naughton, Fascination throbs with danger, deceit, passion, and suspense as a pair of step siblings are torn between desire and suspicion in this sexy thriller.It was directed by Klaus Menzel.Scott Doherty is a young man in his early 20's who is still coming to terms with the unexpected death of his father when he learns that his mother, Maureen, is engaged to marry Oliver Vance.He doesn't approve of the marriage, and he soon learns Oliver's daughter Kelly, also in her early 20's, has similar misgivings, primarily because Oliver also just recently lost his spouse. As Scott and Kelly get to know one another, they begin to wonder if the recent deaths that made the marriage of Maureen and Oliver possible were entirely accidental, though their feelings become far more complicated when they enter into a passionate affair.This film is contrived and formulaic as well as it was laughable since it features loads of cheesy dialogue.Aside from that,we can't stay interested and much less fascinated due to the poor screenplay.The performance and presence of Jacqueline Bisset is the only reason why I gave this movie a 5 instead of 1 out of 10 rating.

**********I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL IT BUT IF YOU READ BELOW THIS************ WORSE!!! Terrible! Terrible acting, the most sudsy of soaps story lines. The material from this film is like someone took all the scripts from 10 years of daily soaps and mashed it into one. What a waste for Jackie. She was the only reason to watch and her part was so one note. Don't waste your time!!The main reason for making this movie, in my opinion? Someone wanted to see the "love" interest for the son naked! Don't get me wrong, you won't see much, but there are plenty of simulated love scenes. Oh forget it, if you want that, go rent a good film, this would put "Skinamax" to shame!!

I ready some of the comments - I know we are all entitled to our own opinion but some of these people take this reviewing pretty serious don't they? Basically I rented the DVD because my girlfriend likes Adam Garcia. After watching the movie, she is into him even more - watch it and I guess from a girls perspective you'll know why. I didn't love the music, it was a bit corny for my taste but the overall feel of the movie made sense and the story line flowed pretty well. Bottom line (in my opinion) the movie was good - nice location shots, nice body shots and at times was pretty suspenseful.People just need to relax and rent the movie.

I really liked "Fascination" and agree with many of the users: it is a joyride, Adam Garcia is sexy, the locations are gorgeous. But it's not just a story about a son who suspects his mother of murdering his dead, it is also about a woman who lived in a loveless marriage and now wants to live the life she had thought she'd have. The director Klaus Menzel also tells this part beautifully and gives it equal weight in a story that could easily be just about thrills and passion, but really is about something more: love as a catalyst and as a chain that binds. And as a dangerous business. I hate to say it, but this film is much deeper than most people (even those who like it) give it credit for.
