Story Synopsis:
Carl Reiner’s Fatal Instinct is a spoof on every suspense thriller in the book. Armand Assante stars as Ned Ravine, a lawyer cop who is hotly pursued by three femmes fatales, his wife who schemes to murder him, his dedicated secretary who is too good to be true, and a seductive, glamorous client.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is a real looker. Colors are strong and vivid and the image detail is exceptional. Blacks are well defined as is the shadow detail. Contrast is exemplary and flesh color is perfectly natural. The 1.85:1 transfer is noise and artifact free for a pristine and sharply rendered picture.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is first rate with its wonderfully recorded and dynamic music score by Richard Gibbs. It is the main source of surround envelopment, and is heard throughout most scenes. Dialogue is natural but the few scenes without music have few stereo effects.
