Directed by: Adrian Lyne

Genre: Drama, Thriller
Rated: R
Year: 1987
Thoughts: Beware! Warning! This may contain spoilers!
I remember seeing Obsessed a few years ago, not understanding where all the complaints were coming from. However, after watching this movie with my mom (which is weird- unless you can watch hardcore sex scenes together - good for you), I understand where all the judgement came from. The idea is extremely similar to this film, since the film focuses on an obsessed woman, who lusts after a man she cannot have/ he has no desire for her.
This film was more interesting than the remake, since well the original is always better. Fatal attraction has a better backstory as to why the obsessed women is well, why obsessed. A bad mistake causes a pregnancy, leaded to delusions. However, the plot in Obsessed doesn't do much, since she is a temp, and he is her boss, that shows her no romantic feelings at all.
Alex, the obsessed, does a wonderfully creepy job of lusting after Dan. But, her ploys to get closer to him ultimately keep failing, regardless of what she does. The ideas just keep getting more and more bizarre and scarier for Dan's wife. Leading towards an attempted murder. The thing that is annoying is that the film is rather long for a simple drama, and it started to drag on for awhile, especially since I knew what would happen after watching the remake.
