Critics Consensus: Brian De Palma reins in his stylistic flamboyance to eerie effect in The Fury, a telekinetic slow burn that rewards patient viewers with its startling set pieces.

Reviews

Fresno Bee

Kathey Clarey

It's not for the faint-hearted, the impressionable or for children It is for those who enjoy the kind of suspenseful horror film that never quite lets you on the edge of your seat and makes you believe the world it creates.

...a somewhat forgettable yet mostly watchable thriller...

It is convoluted, confused and confusing. It has a serviceable enough idea for a genre melodrama of this sort but it has not been properly worked out.

The Fury is the best De Palma film I know, the most perfect, the less incoherent. [Full Review in Spanish]

Carrie it ain't, but Carrie had .a good suspense-mounting plot; The Fury just assaults you scene after scene without getting Peckinpah gory.
