Extremely horny can-con thriller with Sally Kellerman and (that boring dude from Scanners) Stephen Lack playing strangers involved in an accidental ✨head on✨ car crash that awakens a mutual desire for weird and depraved sexual role-play that starts off innocently enough and then... well it gets out of hand pretty quickly. Yeah that's right. Pretty similar to that other Toronto-made kinky kar krash flick that came out 16 years later. The main difference between the two is this one features a staged restaurant robbery (just one of their sexy games) where Stephen Lack repeatedly screams "PUT YOUR FACE IN YOUR SPAGHETTI" to people trying to enjoy their dinner. Immediately following this him and Kellerman fuck in a tunnel. Fun! John…

the best thing to come out of watching the 1987 Fatal Attraction (a slog!) was looking it up on here and discovering this odd gem, which also goes by Fatal Attraction. i am happy it stuck with Head On because a) i wouldnt have been rapt enough to hunt it down immediately if it didnt remind me of Crash, and b) i cant stop thinking about head on apply directly to the forehead for as long as this movie is in my thoughts, and i really dont mind that. i miss that commercial.
so is this anything like Crash..? no i would not say so, because the crash itself is not arousing for them, in fact has them quite snippy…

“PUT YOUR FACE IN YOUR SPAGHETTI! NOW!”
Heck yeah! 1980’s Fatal Attraction (aka Head On) > 1987’s Fatal Attraction. Kind of feels like a bonkers 9½ Weeks in the best way. It’s medically accurate that head-on collisions will make you very insane and horny! -
Watched the VHS version (uploaded to YouTube) where it was called "Fatal Attraction" released before the one with the terminally beige, leather lizard Michael Douglas. But you know what? The name "Head On" is just better. This Canadian movie is confusing and so subdued, it's psycho-sexual but not particularly erotic. You know who isn't subdued? Stephen Lack. Oh, some may think of him as that boring guy from Scanners but then they may have never seen him in other movies like The Rubber Gun (recommended!) or know about his visual art work. And he's enjoyable here. And Head On stars Sally Kellerman! At about an hour in the movie goes very deep end, off the rails, there are moments that really stick with me: smashed windows, faces smushed into spaghetti, and other psychological collisions.

Spaghetti: Apply directly to the face!

Like a latter-day Cronenberg film with the cast of an early Cronenberg film.

Have you been longing to see David Cronenberg's 'Crash', but wished it were less grotesque and a whole lot goofier? Then have I got the movie for you!
Extra star for a random but very welcome John Huston cameo.

"FACE IN THE SPAGHETTI, THAT MEANS YOU GRANNY"
I picked this up on VHS and I read the words "sexy games" with the guy from Scanners and picked it up but was confused when he sounded like all his lines are added in post or if that's just what the 80s sounded like
This movie was confusing but in a horny car crash way, where Sally Kellerman and Stephen Lack go into a legal battle for the first 15 minutes but the rest of the movie is them trying to top each other's "sexy games" for lack of better words, (that's what they call it) where they try to out-do each other in pursuit of their attraction. Like cheating on…
