Trivia
After the success of Sharon Stone's Basic Instinct (1992), this film was retitled in German as "Final Instinct". See more »Goofs
Stone's character, although apparently with no income (she's a temp at a steno temp agency which has no work) or visible means of support, shares an apartment floor (two units on the floor) with a wealthy neighbor, and her apartment has a balcony; she's also able to afford a regular psychiatrist. See more »Alternate Versions
In Britain 11 seconds were cut from the video version by the British censors to edit shots of Angie being punched and her clothes torn during the elevator assault scene. The 2002 Hollywood DVD is uncut. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

Scissors is a tense psychological thriller where a disturbed woman (Sharon Stone) is trapped in an apartment by an unseen intruder in an attempt to drive her crazy. This film relied heaveily on Stone's dramatic acting and honestly she created a very believable and sympathetic character. She had to carry this film by herself basically and she pulled it off well.
