Cape Fear

...one of the best horror series in recent memory.

Bardem walks a tightrope of charismatic cunning as Patrick Wilson...

...never commits the felonious crime of being dull.

...reimagines the classic revenge story as a sobering look at parenting, misogyny, and the cultural forces reaching young men.

As soon as the familiar, ominous horns blare over the first scene, it’s clear that this new Cape Fear has no hang-ups about being a remake.

It is, to be sure, a masterclass in tension, in taking things right to the edge of credulity but never over and it never forgets the power of the jump scare.
