Here, in a special epilogue, you'll also see Fatal Attraction's controversial "original" ending, which has never been available on home video until now.
Nominated for six Academy Awards – including Best Picture – 1987's sleek, stylish Fatal Attraction tapped into the decade's sexual anxieties and became one of the all-time most successful thrillers. Michael Douglas plays Dan Gallagher, a New York attorney who has a romantic fling with seductive Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) while his wife (Anne Archer) is away. Dan later shrugs off the affair as a mistake and considers it over. But Alex won't be ignored. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever...even if it means destroying Dan's family to keep him.
This film is presented in "letterbox" format. The black bars at the top and bottom of the screen are normal.
