A pair of stepsiblings are torn between desire and suspicion in this sexy thriller. Scott Doherty (Adam Garcia) is a young man in his early twenties who is still coming to terms with the unexpected death of his father (James Naughton) when he learns that his mother, Maureen (Jacqueline Bisset), is engaged to marry Oliver Vance (Stuart Wilson). Scott doesn't approve of the marriage, and he soon learns Oliver's daughter Kelly (Alice Evans), also in her early twenties, 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. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
For a "riveting erotic thriller," Fascination isn't riveting, it's not all that erotic, and to call it a thriller would even make Michael Jackson cringe.
This average thriller is cheaper and nastier than the simplest of soap operas.

To understand this movie you have to use some sort of formula. Take a scoop of mystery, sorrow, mistrust and sexual attraction, whip in a bit of perversion and finally blend in a touch of insanity. There you have it! It is a good movie, in a strange way.
