Review:
If something seems too easy then there is probably something terribly wrong with it. Well that seems to be the lesson here as Alex (Glenn Close) enters the life of colleague Dan Michael Douglas. See Dan is happily married though when his Wife & Kid are away for the weekend he invites her over for a sex romp. Once the family is back Dan doesn't want anything to do with Alex, but Alex doesn't take no for an answer. She obsessively stalks (and is great as a creepy psycho) and torments him appearing everywhere determined to destroy him (or have him back who knows?). The acting definitely makes this worth your while and well I think the lesson isn't a bad one either. I think my biggest complaint is that it's longer than it really needs to be. Still worthwhile for those who like scary psychos!

Availability:  On DVD & Blu-Ray
