Geez, talk about a Crazy White Bitch!! This movie was assigned for my girlfriend to watch for college regarding the topic of mental disorders and instead of letting her suffer alone, i decided to watch it with her; after all how much could one movie hurt me? The buildup of the situation was steady and at a pace everyone could follow, especially when she drops the bomb on him and shows her true sid... read more

Wow! Fatal Attraction is indeed a fatal attraction between the actors powerful performances, strong direction and screenplay and the audiences who are watching the film! There were quite a few similarities to this film that I have watched before such as Cape Fear (both original and remake) and the film adaptation of Stephen King's famous novel Misery. It is a story of obsession, desperation and al... read more

“(NX) A más de 3 décadas de su estreno, no resulta más insana o implausible o misógina; se mantienen a flor de piel sus prejuicios. Close es mala/demente con convicción y Douglas impecable; los giros de terror entran cuando ya el drama sostuvo el resto” read more
