## Description

An erotically charged thriller about the search for an ice pick murderer in San Francisco. It rivets attention through its sleek style and attractive cast doing and thinking kinky things together with a weirdly implausible yet intensely visceral storyline.

Review: Good Packaging of an American Classic - I'm a big fan of this movie. I wasn't ever allowed to see it under my parents, but now that they're out of my hair I finally got around to checking this one out. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love learning more about how our culture came to be, and I think this movie showed me some things about my parent generation. I guess I should be rating the delivery and packaging, though, instead of the actual film. I've popped in this version of Basic Instinct twice now and have no complaints to report! But, as long as the original is preserved, I'm pleased, so I guess I'm not a hard customer. Great movie, regardless, but I can't compare this packaging of it to another.
Review: One of my top favorites of all time - Basic Instinct is a guilty pleasure. I love this film, and have had the Unrated Director's Cut on VHS for many years. I bought the so-called Collector's Edition (included the ice pick pen) a while back and returned it because it missed quite a bit of footage. Recently, I tried again---and this time it was ice pick bingo! (Who needs the pen, anyway?) The Unrated Director's Cut is listed on desertcart as an unrated special edition (Special Edition - Unrated) which "contains scenes the director was forced to cut." There is no image available. You can identify the DVD as Artisan's release, ASIN B00005N919. Make no mistake, THIS IS THE VERSION TO BUY. I also highly recommend the soundtrack on compact disc. Jerry Goldsmith's music is haunting, and one of the best scores ever composed for film.
