(also known by its alternative title, Stripped of Innocence ) is a 2015 American erotic psychological thriller television movie that originally premiered on the Lifetime Network . Directed by Nancy Leopardi, the film explores themes of obsessive relationships, manipulation, and the fierce battle between a protective mother and a predatory, unhinged older woman.
While the femme fatale is the most common iteration, the male equivalent, the homme fatal (or "lady-killer" in a literal sense), also exists, though often portrayed differently. Examples include the aristocratic libertine Don Juan (who seduces and abandons, leading to social death) or the obsessive lover in films like Fatal Attraction (1987), where the genders of predator and prey are more ambiguously modernized. lethal seduction wiki
