Cape Fear

by Laurie Holding


The author has placed a warning on this post for violence.
Robert De Niro
gave me bad dreams about cheeks:
biting, spitting out.



Haiku Movie Review writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Write a Haiku. A Haiku has three lines. The first line has 5 syllables. The second line has 7 syllables. The third line has 5 syllables again. Take ANY movie and write a 5-7-5 haiku or senryu style review of it. Be serious or humorous...either way, act as if you were a movie critic and have fun!


I still wake up some nights, after having seen Cape Fear 30 years ago, in a cold sweat, thinking of that scene where Robert De Niro brutalizes a woman by biting her cheek, then spitting it out beside the bed. Really, really bad dreams. And for the same reason that I never warmed up to Glen Close after Fatal Attraction, I've never like De Niro since.
