Synopsis
A happily married New York City lawyer engages in a one-night stand while his wife and child are visiting his in-laws. When he tries to end the affair, she refuses, and initial harassment (phone calls in the middle of the night) escalates until she has terrorized the entire family. Soon the lawyer realizes it's either him or her... and he sets the stage for a final showdown.
Industry Reviews
"...An ingeniously teasing style....Sure to spark a lot of cocktail party chatter..."
New York Times - p.C10 - Janet Maslin (09/18/1987)
"...The screws are tightened expertly in this suspenseful meller....Glenn Close throws herself into the physical abandon of the early reels with surprising relish, and becomes genuinely frightening..."
Variety - Cart. (09/16/1987)
"...Glenn Close is infernally brilliant....Lyne's direction here is the tightest and most effective of his career..."
Los Angeles Times - p.C1 - Michael Wilmington (09/18/1987)
3 stars out of 4 -- "[An] iconic 80s movie....Close gives a career performance..."
