This thriller is ingeniously woven with motifs suggesting the difficulty of seeing and understanding truth, and substitutes psychological chills for commonplace gore.
Barely credible, but in the hands of the film's dedicated minimalists, "barely" is enough, and they turn the precious little they have to work with into a plus.

Turturro keeps Fear X fascinating, practically in spite of itself.
Perhaps a radical re-editing of Fear X-like Lynch did on “Mulholland Drive”-could rescue the film's workaday unease from the dread taboo of derivative weirdness. It's half a movie, but a half that hums.
Ultimately Fear X feels more like an intellectual exercise than a convincing drama.
A tedious, snail-paced mess.
A pretentious, unsatisfying and ultra-slow-moving thriller.
