Description

One film was sanctioned by the mainstream and became a box office smash, the other was considered an abomination for the director and its star. Both films were met with protests by the gay community for equating homosexuality to serial killing! Yes it’s time to look at William Friedkin’s 1980 film Cruising and Paul Verhoven’s 1992 film Basic Instinct.
