A slow-burn thriller that sinks its teeth in and doesn’t let go. When ex-con Max Cady resurfaces with a grudge, a small-town lawyer and his family find themselves stalked by a menace who knows how to exploit every weakness. Martin Scorsese’s Cape Fear is equal parts psychological chess match and primal nightmare, with Robert De Niro delivering one of cinema’s most unsettling performances. Suspense, dread, and moral reckoning, all in one unforgettable ride. Underneath a car with a screwdriver, of course.
