Scorned (also marketed as A Woman Scorned) is a 1993 American erotic thriller directed by Andrew Stevens and written by Stevens and Kurt D. Lamm. Known for its late-night cable rotation and VHS rental ubiquity, the film stands as a quintessential example of the "erotic thriller" boom that followed the success of Fatal Attraction (1987) and Basic Instinct (1992). While not a critical darling, Scorned has endured as a cult classic, remembered for its over-the-top performances, twisty plot, and its place as a showcase for its lead actress, Shannon Tweed—the "Queen of the Erotic Thriller."
