Fatal Attraction (1987)


Gentlemen, a word of advice: DO NOT cheat on your wife. Don't cheat on her with a normal person, and especially don't cheat on her with a batshit-crazy knife-wielding Glenn Close. There's a chance you'll come to regret it.

Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas) is a happy successful lawyer and loving husband and father. Also SCUM OF THE UNIVERSE. Okay, not really. However! He decides to risk it all and have an affair with his colleague Alex (Glenn Close). Bad idea, buddy.  He tries to break it off! But she "won't be ignorrrred!" And then she sets loose the crazy. She won't stop calling him. She gets too close to his family. She sits in the dark and flicks the light on and off. And that's just the beginning.

Glenn Close is sooo scary! Yes it's all a bit over the top, but it wouldn't be half as fun or disturbing otherwise. I imagine many a marriage was saved by this film. Thinking about giving into that flirty coworker? THINK AGAIN!

This movie is currently streaming on Netflix, so if you're in the mood for something a little freaky, give this one a watch. Enjoy!
