10 Movies That Clearly Foreshadow Their Own Plot

8. Fatal Attraction - Bunny Boiler

It Pennywise
Paramount Pictures

If you ever needed evidence on why you should stay faithful in your relationship, and you really shouldn't, then let Fatal Attraction serve as a lesson to you. When lawyer Dan has a fling with book editor Alex, she becomes obsessed - misunderstanding their casual relationship and refusing to be ignored when she claims herself to be pregnant.

As the film escalates, Alex engages in increasingly more dangerous and erratic behaviour as Dan tries to hide his extracurricular boning activity from his wife: until Alex steals Dan's daughter's pet rabbit and leaves it to boil on their own stove.

There's a moment before this however, that ironically warns Dan exactly what's coming for him when they're courting. When blowing her off to walk the dog, Alex tells him "Just bring the dog over... I'm great with animals and I love to cook." After what happens to the poor rabbit, Dan's probably very glad he didn't take the dog over. Dog soup is far too stringy.

In addition, Dan quips Alex has a "look that could kill". Words really are his worst enemy in this movie.
