"A wickedly funny film that drives an ice pick through the heart of suspense blockbusters like Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct.". The Milwaukee Journal review quote. MGM/UA Home Video. Fatal Instinct (1993) was a comedy spoof directed by the legendary Carl Reiner that parodied the wave of erotic thrillers that dominated the early '90s. Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct, Sleeping with the Enemy, Cape Fear, and Body Heat all got the satirical treatment. The early '90s was peak era for both erotic thrillers and spoof comedies, and Fatal Instinct sat perfectly at the intersection. Armand Assante played a lawyer/cop who is oblivious to the multiple women scheming around him. Sherilyn Fenn (Twin Peaks) and Sean Young brought knowing self-awareness to their femme fatale parodies. Carl Reiner had been making audiences laugh for decades. From The Dick Van Dyke Show to The Jerk to All of Me. Spoof comedies from this era are nostalgic time capsules. Never this funny. VHS tape. Pre-owned. See photos for condition.
