Basic Instinct (Unrated Director’s Cut) [Blu-ray]
Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 09/09/2008 Run time: 21 minutes Rating: RThe 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

3 Stars Much better than episode 2
I did watch this movie for many times. Finally, i got this blu ray version. I am a bit disappointed about the content because some hidden scenes were not covered in it. Sharon fans, don’t miss it.
5 Stars Basic Instinct Blu-Ray
I watched this movie when it first came out and I thought it was very entertaining. Watching it again in Blu-ray format was amazing and it brought the movie closer to reality. The scenic view from the beach house were spectacular and breathtaking!

5 Stars A Must-Have
The video and audio transfer of this early-1990’s movie is incredible! It was beautifully lighted and wonderfully shot. I have the DVD and Blu-ray version and the Blu-ray disc is the one to have.
