Fatal Attraction (1987)

The only thing I knew about this movie was the phrase "bunny boiler". Eventually I sat down to watch it by myself and realised - hey, it's not a straight cut thriller - it's a really deep, touching, gut wrenchingly horrifying look at a psychopath with the means and ability to do what she wants. 

It wasn't really fun at all. 

But what stinks up the joint is the ending, all along it's played as the most realistic movie possible. Then - dead, alive, dead, alive, hello! It goes into campy horror film mode for five minutes, destroying the credability of the whole thing.
