Product Description

Product 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.

Amazon.com

The take-no-prisoners sex thriller from 1992 now stands as a milestone in the career of screenwriter Joe Eszterhas, but in the hands of director Paul Verhoeven Basic Instinct is an undeniably stylish and provocative study of obsession. In the role that made her a star (and showed the audience a little more skin than she intended), Sharon Stone plays the cleverly manipulative novelist Catherine Tramell who snares San Francisco detective Nick Curran (Michael Douglas) with her insatiable sexual appetite during the investigation of her boyfriend's murder. Tramell is the prime suspect, but the plot twists and turns until Curran is trapped in a dangerous cycle of dead ends and unsolved murders, never sure if Tramell is committing the crimes or if it is some other, unknown suspect. With a plot that keeps viewers guessing, Basic Instinct is the work of a director who is clearly in his element. --Jeff Shannon

Here's the scoop on the UNRATED version and more
Well, after much exhaustive work and buying three different DVD's of this film at Amazon, four have been produced so far bye-the-way. As a reviewer said earlier the ASIN: B00005N919 on Amazon as 'Basic Instinct (Collector's Edition - Unrated) (1992)' is the version with the deleted scenes that the Director was forced to cut from the theatrical release back in 1992. I have added a couple of pictures of the copy (3rd and 4th customer pictures in the picture list by me) that I received from a seller under the product ASIN: B00005N919, of the DVD case front and back with notes added for explaination. By-the-way, there is no main picture on Amazon for this particular version of the DVD, only customer pictures and this is defineately the version to buy. This DVD did come with the 'Ice Pick' and is still called a Special Edition because of that Ice Pick (pen) included. I also bought another copy with ASIN: B000E5N684 and the Amazon title of 'Basic Instinct - Director's Cut (Ultimate Edition) (1992)' and that has a Sharon Stone interview (recently) added to it and is the last DVD copy (non blu-Ray) to be made. I watched this version also and because it says Director's Cut and Unrated on the lower bottom part of the DVD case, it does have the left out scenes that were deleted in the theatrical release also. The other one I bought ASIN: B00005N91B also came with the Ice Pick, but it only say's Special Edition on the DVD, this does not include the cut scenes in the theatrical release, but is a Special Edition because of the Ice Pick (pen). Another reviewer did talk about the extra scenes in the UNRATED versions and what they include, so I will not go into that, just see his review for that info. I hope this helps clarify the many different releases of this DVD that I have found so far here at Amazon.Also for you that do not know what an ASIN is, here you go:All items in the Amazon catalog are identified by 10-digit ASINs (Amazon Standard Identification Numbers). The ASIN search tool on their site is able to search for items by ASIN. Amazon assigns these ASIN numbers, it helps them to ship the correct item.

A neo-noir erotic film that holds your interest to the very end. I loved it. I was entertained. Sharon Stone is fantastic, sexy, even mesmerizing. Some people might not like it for various reasons like the nudity, stereotyping of LGBQT+ people, or the ending. All of these are legitimate reasons. I think the directing, the acting, and the sets were fantastic. Although it's not a perfect movie, I give it 5 stars and recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Psychological Manipulation
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2023
Verified Purchase
This film is thoroughly engaging. Michael Douglas is a flawed homicide investigator assigned to find the murderer of a former rock star who was stabbed multiple times with an ice pick during sex. The only suspect is the victim’s girlfriend Sharon Stone, a wealthy writer, who’s written a book that seems to describe the murder and who, unbeknowst to Douglas, is now writing a book that is modelled on him—a book that ends with him being killed by his girlfriend. Taken to the police station for questioning, Stone, in a very famous scene, puts on a provocative and enticing display as she declares her innocence. It’s clear that she is manipulating Douglas who is, like the film’s audience, totally taken with Stone. Meanwhile, he is getting therapy from a female in-house psychologist, who also seems to be manipulating him though perhaps for his own good, a therapist with whom he had been sexually intimate. Stone is an exhibitionist. Is she luring victims or, rather, defending herself from victimization by others? Likewise, is Douglas being victimized by the psychologist, or is she his victim—as several scenes suggest? The issue for the Douglas is whether to be personally involved with Stone or, rather, involved with the psychologist. The latter is quite attractive, seems to be a thoroughly good human being, and warns him away from someone she sees as evil. Sharon Stone looks dangerous, and as Douglas investigates the case, his becoming her victim is an increasingly real prospect. Is the “basic instinct” of the title his sexual drive or his sense of who is and is not a killer? Sharon Stone manages to be both ice cold unfeeling and sexy hot. She is thoroughly captivating without being really appealing. Is her befriending murders research for her books or connecting with others like herself? Can Douglas escape the manipulation and, thereby his past, or must he resort to some manipulation of his own?

From the beginning, you know who the killer is but as the movie goes on it's fun to watch her play mind games with those around her. The story revolves around a beautiful and seductive writer named Catherine who is wanted for the murder of a guy she was fooling around with. Nick Curran played by Michael Douglas is a cop with a bad past and record who finds himself falling for despite the evidence that points to her as the killer. It's an intense movie and yes there is sex and nudity but as a writer myself I enjoyed watching Sharon Stone as the ultimate femme fatale lure Nick into her web.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-Written and Well-Made Sexual Thriller
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2016
Verified Purchase
I love this movie. It feels like Paul Verhoeven studied his Hitchcock and brought a team of very talented filmmakers together to make the ultimate Hitchcockian-inspired sex thriller.

— THE WRITING —
At the time of its release, Joe Eszterhas' script prompted a bidding war that would make him the highest paid screenwriter at the time. While some may mock the trashy quality of it, you have to admit it's very enjoyable trashy writing, with a few memorable quotes to fill your life with.

— THE ACTING —
Sharon Stone was born to play Catherine Tramell. It was meant to be. She's a beautiful, blonde, seductress, who's rich, smart, and knows exactly how to work people. Instant iconic character. Everyone else is perfectly fine in their roles.

— THE CINEMATOGRAPHY —
Jan de Bont, who would go on to make 'Speed' and 'Twister' was the cinematographer for this film. And boy does that man know how to frame and move a camera around. Every shot is done with a purpose, you see what you're supposed to see, you are shown what is supposed to be revealed, and everything is framed beautifully.

— THE LOCATIONS —
Based in San Francisco, the film actually shows us some of the most beautiful locations there. I recently took a trip to San Francisco, and I made sure to stop at some of the same filming locales (I got exact addresses)[see photos]. Whoever did the location scouting picked some of the most gorgeous views of the city and around the city.

— THE MUSIC —
The music is perfect for this movie and on its own. Jerry Goldsmith was pushed very hard by the director, and what he's created here is worthy of his nominations for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award. I have the  Basic Instinct: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack , and I love the album. There is one track in particular, "An Unending Story," it was playing one day while I was coming home from work; it felt like I was in a movie, that I was being stalked, and I had to look behind me at times just to make sure.

— THE STORY —
This is a great mystery and thriller, that just happens to have explicit sex in it. You are introduced to a few main characters, which includes a detective, and you're trying to figure out what's going on just as much as he is. Things are played multiple ways so you can consider multiple scenarios. You are taken along for this ride until the memorable last shot, which if you listen to the great commentary track, explains everything.

— SUMMARY —
Yes it has violence, yes it has sex, but it also has a great story, writing, acting, music, and cinematography that pulls it all together. If you've never seen Basic Instinct, you need to make the time and enjoy this mystery thriller. Recommended.

I paid a lot for the movie, especially considering that the blue version would not play in my player (region 2). I knew that going in but I really wanted a 4K version of Basic Instinct (region free.). The movie played with an excellent restored 4K version. The only problem was that in a couple of spots the movie froze or depixulated. Because of the cost of the movie, I decided to return it.

As a side note, the service was excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars incontournable, un des 5 meilleurs Michael Douglas
Reviewed in France on September 12, 2023

Je vous l’ai déjà dis les films de serial killers font pour moi partie du cinéma d’horreur comme sous genre à part entière et si vous vous souvenez de la scène d’introduction vous conviendrez que « basic instinct » réalisé en 1982 par Paul Verhoeven a droit d’entrée sur cette page. De l’angoisse psychologique menée par une maitresse es manipulation que je classe dans la même catégorie que « psychose » ou « liaison fatale ». Le maniement du pic à glace dans une scène est d’ailleurs presque un hommage à la scène de la douche dans le chef d’œuvre d’Hitchcock.
Pour ce classique absolu qui a hissé Sharon Stone vers la gloire on a oublié qu’outre le fait de révéler que la blonde avait une aversion pour tout ce qui pouvait empêcher la brise de faire onduler son système pileux on y voyait aussi les nénés dès la première seconde. Pour ces derniers, en dehors d’être moins beaux que ceux de ma copine je la soupçonne assez fortement de ne pas être née avec, ça sent l’architecte d’intérieur, mais j’ai pas de médecin légiste sous la main et l’IML est débordée.
Un film bien sulfureux dans lequel Michael Douglas a une façon de coller les filles aux murs pour laquelle Saint Macloux lui ferait des ponts d’or uniquement pour passer la tête au rayon « démonstration de pose de tapisserie » lors des prochaines journées portes ouvertes.
Le duel au sommet Douglas / Stone parait nettement déséquilibré au départ. La dame a une arme absolue : se montrer compatible avec tous les animaux à sang chaud quelque soit le nombre de pattes pourvu qu’ils soient de sexe masculin, donc face ç à ça le pauvre Michael hein… surtout que la blondinette est fortement soupçonnée de faire tomber les victimes autour d’elle comme des pois chiche sur du couscous.
Certes « basic instinct » a fortement à voir avec le thriller mais la personnalité hors norme de la tueuse est suffisamment effrayante pour que le Blu-ray soit le cul entre 2 étagères dans ma vidéothèque. Le plus glaçant (si je puis dire compte tenu de l’arme utilisée) est l’absence totale de mobile qui en fait une parfaite psychopathe. Une nana à mettre dans un bocal de formol afin d’illustrer les cours de facs sur les criminels au cerveau cramé au charbon de bois.
Et si vous croyez que les jeux de manip vont s’arrêter là vous vous fourrez la 1ère phalange du majeur dans le pif jusqu’à la rotule. Le suspens est mené de main de surdoué par Paul Verhoeven dont la carrière est pavée de chef d’œuvres (« starship troopers », « total recall », « robocop »). Un incontournable 4.5 / 5
