Basic Instinct (widescreen)

Flesh seduces. Passion Kills. Guild Home Video proudly present one of the decade's most talked about movies in it's original cinema format. Without special edits or adaptions, this is 'Basic Instinct' as director Paul Verhoven intended it to be seen. An ice pick stained with blood. A silk scarf tied to a bed post. A fading rock star brutally slain. The clues and the victim but where is the killer? For Nick Curran, a cop on the edge whose best friend is on the bottle, what begins as just another murder hunt quickly turns into something much more sinister. Prime suspect is Catherine Tramell, a rich and dangerously seductive novelist whose bizzare, fictional killings have a nasty habit of coming true. Curran's basic instinct tells him to keep his distance but he's drawn to the irresistably sexy Catherine. The closer he gets, the more she manipulates him until finally the detective finds himself hopelessly out of control in a maze of mind games, passion and murder. © Carolco International N.V. and Le Studio Canal + S.A.
