Under the direction of Adrian Lyne, most of the picture's situations seem like randomly chosen place holders, flat events that just fill time until the final bizarre confrontation.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
[The film brings] horror home to a place where the grownup moviegoer actually lives.
The screws are tightened expertly in this suspenseful meller about a flipped-out femme who makes life hell for the married man who scorns her.
