Michael Douglas is a lawyer in NYC who doesn't like home security systems.
He loves his wife and little daughter, but one weekend when his family goes out
of town he lets his balls get the better of him and he hooks up with a Dee
Snider impersonator. If that wasn't already bad enough it turns out that
she's also completely insane. Whoops. Things quickly turn from bad
to holy fucking shit when this psycho decides show him the true meaning of
"not gonna take it".
I've never seen FATAL ATTRACTION before and I was kinda shocked at how shocking
his film was. I can only imagine that back in 1987 it had people tripping
out! Things start out innocently enough and I thought Douglas was an idiot
for hooking up with Close. I would have felt a little more sympathy for
him if he'd been drunk or something, but whatever, he does what he does thinking
that both parties involved are responsible (dishonest, cheating) adults....but ohhhhh no she
starts stalking him the very next morning!
Lackluster nudity, 80's fashions, strong direction, cute dog, cute rabbit, lots of cool NYC
street scenes and locations, good pace, I really enjoyed FATAL ATTRACTION. The story is
pretty much timeless. Even decades later this shit still happens daily. Recommended. I know this story has been told a million times, but I'd still love to see an official remake.
