Cape Fear Ratings & Reviews
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Which Robert, Mitchum or De Niro? De Niro may have walked away with an Oscar nomination for his take on Max Cady, but nobody in his right mind would think he was superior to Mitchum's time spent in the role.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
A sturdy, frightening thriller, with Robert Mitchum in a powerhouse turn.
Photoplay
Janet Graves
[Mitchum] makes the nice folks look weak and unconvincing. But then the story as a whole isn't realistic -- though it goes into unnecessary and distasteful detail.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
The film gets all the beats right; the situations alternate between nerve-wracking and infuriating and horrifying, all while the pacing stays precise.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
It's clear virtually from the get-go that Cape Fear's success is due almost entirely to Mitchum's absolutely spellbinding turn as the vile antagonist...
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
Its politics are abhorrent to me, but my god, it's such a slick, well-crafted thriller ... that I can't hate it
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Unpleasant but suspenseful film noir.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
A cold-blooded, calculated build-up of sadistic menace and shivering dread is accomplished with frightening adroitness in J. Lee Thompson's melodrama Cape Fear.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Keep-you-up-all-night terrifying!
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
The remake with De Niro had the most to fear from this superior little thriller!
Matinee Magazine
Chuck Rudolph
A classic revenge thriller.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
works best as a twisted nail-biter, punctuated brilliantly with an apocalyptic score by Bernard Herrmann
