8/10
Cheap and nasty? Hell yes, and great!
10 October 2012
I just watched this flick on amazon.com VOD and was stunned! The only reason I stumbled upon it was, because my girl friend used to be a huge fan of Lee Baxter's Caught In The Act. I didn't waste a single minute of my life time: The movie starts with a weird animation clip that continues throughout the film and tells a totally different story about a guy who has a problem dealing with his fears. Then the story changes to the main character: A guy called Andy (played quite well by Lee Baxter), who comes from a very rich family, is more than unhappy with his life - despite all the wealth he enjoys. He thinks he could escape the numbness he experiences by joining a police education program. But he soon has to realize that this is depriving him of even more happiness, since the people at school do not seem to support him very much.

The story ends quite shockingly (though not too bloody, don't worry) and offers a couple of bone chilling surprises.

Profile of Fear seems to be cheaply made from time to time, though I'm not sure if this is on purpose (rack focus, noisy image). The story and overall directing is brilliant, though! Profile of Fear really grabbed me at the end and my girl fried was crying like hell.

I also recommend Jane Voosen, the female lead, who plays the main character's foreign girl friend. She delivers a great performance.
