A potboiler in the finest sense, Fatal Attraction is a sultry, juicy thriller that's hard to look away from once it gets going.
Yannis M Glen close set the bar high with this one Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/25 Full Review bob c Very 1980s. But well done for that. Today, less sympathy for the bloke. But why wasn’t she on meds? The happy family ending would make Trumpites proud, if a little squirmy. Poor old rabbit. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Liam D The start of an string of multiple thrillers but non can replicate the suspense and the terror thanks to the fantastic editing Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review Vick D Glen Close was intense and still sympathetic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Audience Member All these years later, it's still as nerve-wracking as ever Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Brad O Intense and entertaining! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis For Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas), life is good. He is on the rise at his New York law firm, is happily married to his wife, Beth (Anne Archer), and has a loving daughter. But, after a casual fling with a sultry book editor named Alex (Glenn Close), everything changes. Jilted by Dan, Alex becomes unstable, her behavior escalating from aggressive pursuit to obsessive stalking. Dan realizes that his main problem is not hiding his affair, but rather saving himself and his family.
