Film: The Original Ending To "Fatal Attraction"

In 1987, director Adrian Lyne released the Michael Douglas/Glenn Close classic, "Fatal Attraction" to critical and box office mega success. What many don't realize is that the last scene of the film that features a knife wielding Glenn Close attacking Anne Archer's character was shot 6 months after the original ending was nixed due to a lukewarm reaction by the original screening audience. They wanted to see 'Alex' get what they thought she deserved.

I think the original ending, which is posted below, is much more haunting whereas the ending that is eventually used is the edge-of-your-seat crowd-pleaser.

What do you think?
