Sam Bowden is a small-town corporate attorney. Max Cady is a tattooed, cigar-smoking, Bible-quoting, psychotic rapist. What do they have in common? 14 years ago, Sam was a public defender assigned to Max Cady's rape trial, and he made a serious error: he hid a document from his illiterate client that could have gotten him acquitted. Now, the cagey Cady has been released, and he intends to teach Sam Bowden and his family a thing or two about loss.
Editor's Verdict
"While 'Cape Fear' is primarily a dark crime thriller, it is famously set during the Christmas season, and the final confrontation occurs at a Christmas-themed gathering. However, Christmas themes and iconography are not central to the core revenge plot, placing it in the 'KINDA' category as a film with significant holiday adjacency."
