Fatal Attraction's original ending was far more depressing with Glenn Close's Character committing suicide with a really big knife while listening to Madame Butterfly . The Test audience on that film didn't feel it had enough kick so the ending was reshot with the psycho in the bathtub sequence. Director John Frankenhiemer received a similar experience with one of his more recent films, Reindeer Games. Thankfully, the DVD version from Roadshow is the director's cut, and understandably a much better film overall, with characters fleshed out a bit more and a more cohesive storyline. When Rudy is released from prison he sees Ashley waiting for Nick, though she is unaware Nick is even dead.
Image depth is also quite good, and alaising only pops up now and then with little distraction.
Tis a fine transfer overall. As a result the re-editing of sequences isn't quite seamless. Surprisingly he does not come across as being at all bitter for having to accommodate his film by editing out and reducing sequences for the theatrical release. I was a little distracted by the comm track sounding a bit choppy. It may have done terrible business at the box office, but Reindeer games has been well presented on DVD and is certainly worth a look, especially with this being the director's cut.
