Teenager Reese Witherspoon, in uncertain waters with estranged father William Petersen and step-mom Amy Brenneman, falls for Mark Wahlberg, who turns out to be a psycho and drug dealer, leading to a siege of the family home by a gang of morons. (I did not understand at all what her friend saw in Hairy Moron.) After Wahlberg is thrown out of the window and onto rocks below, just before he dies, he says 'Thanks - you've fixed my back problem...' Well, that perhaps isn't in Christopher Crowe's original screenplay, which ends abruptly.
'Fear' is a terrible title. 'Asshole' would be more accurate, but I'm not sure would sell well. 'Boyfriend Material'?
Found severed dog head coming through flap funny.
Was the father an architect, by the way? I'm not sure if that was clear, but he had designed his own house, it turned out. Perhaps some plot exposition had been removed, because some stupid executive thought it was too long, or something.
