Fatal Attraction

Great Bluray.

It is totally campy by today's standards, but it caused quite a sensation back in 1987. Glenn Close plays Alex Forrest, a mentally unstable career woman who has a one night stand with Dan Gallagher, a successful husband and father. After two nights of extremely bizarre love making (kitchen sink, anyone?), Dan decides that it is time to call it off for good. Big mistake. Alex Forrester teaches him a lesson he'll never forget...this film is responsible for the term "bunny boiler", by the way. Soon, Dan's wife gets in on the fun, and it all leads up to that disturbing, overwrought - and terribly cliched - climax. One thing is for sure: you never know who to root for in this film. I go back and forth between Michael Douglas and Glenn Close. I can't decide. I mean, he's the jerk that cheated on his hot wife, knowing that he has a wife and a little girl at home. In a way, I think he deserves it. There are times when I smile with glee as he is forced to suffer the consequences to his actions - Mwahahahaha! But then I think, "Geez, Glenn Close. You're one scary ho! Go on with your power hair, you demented skank! Leave that man alone! What did the rabbit do to you, you whore?! Glenn! Give me the knife! Stop cutting yourself, Glenn! Alright, Anne Archer. Blast her." It's easy to switch allegiances with the characters in this film. That's part of the fun of FATAL ATTRACTION, if you can get past the hilarious love-making scenes, which include Michael Douglas constantly, OBSESSIVELY sucking on Glenn's saggy boobs every chance he gets! EVERY love scene, he goes straight for the boobs. That's all she is to him. Just one big boob to suck. Anyways, if you can get past THAT, then you'll have the time of your life. I wasn't kidding when I said it has camp value, but it is still disturbing as well, don't get me wrong. If I learned one thing by watching this film, it's that I will NEVER, EVER cheat on my wife. EVER. And that's a good thing. I'll bet you anything that this film has saved marriages. After this film, you know why THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTRY is one of the top 10. Whew... All in all, it's an eighties classic with important moral lessons thrown in with lots of psychotic activity, kidnapping, bunny boiling, and boob sucking. Adrian Lyne would explore this territory again in 2003's UNFAITHFUL.

Oh I remember this one most of the single women hated it, I heard several say, "This is all I need! It is hard enough to get a man to ask me out, this one will scare the men off." I have to say, you can not unsee this movie. The bunny in the pot on the stove is hard to forget.

Every man before he gets married should watch this movie.

I finally got to watching this again after not seeing it for years and having watched the lackluster wanna be known as Obsessed. This film really delivers in the suspense, drama and so forth. Michael Douglas decides to have a one night stand with Glenn Close. She turns out to be a maniac. For those who have not seen this & have been curious about it - check this one out. This is the way suspenseful film making should be done. The first thing that came to my mind is why Douglas cheated on his wife anyway - I personally found his wife much more attractive than Close. Not only that but it was presumed that he was happy and had it all. He was a rich lawyer, the wife, the kid , the home, the dog. His character did not seem like the type who would cheat, but one can never tell these days. I guess his animal instincts came out when he saw her and there was an attraction. One can also never tell what the consequences are for cheating, which in this case takes it to extreme levels. I would have liked to have explored Closes' character a little more about why she is who she is. It was touched on a little bit, but more would have been better.. Watch for a rabbit scene which will have animal rights people having fits and watch for a scene with Close's whites of her eyes showing (no eye balls) - this was a truly terrifying scene(it reminded me of a movie called Diabolique also worth seeing) Overall this is an fantastic suspenseful edge of your seat thriller type of movie, which can also be seen as a pioneer of films of this sort. No film hit the subject of cheating quite like this. Highest recommendation and a keeper to your DVD collection. Make sure you get the special edition as it contains bonus features and not the bare bones releases... The DVD is widescreen and the transfer is very nice for the most part.

Un très bon suspense et des acteurs vraiment à la hauteur.

Todo perfecto
