is basic instinct basically a remake of this?

I'd say a VERY loose re-make, if that. In Basic Instinct, there is no supernatural theme, which is an integral part of The Fourth Man.
shareIt is generally regarded as a remake, but Fourth Man is better in every way. Basic Instinct is quite a good conventional thriller but Fourth Man is a very unusual art film which follows the anti-hero's journey toward salvation, despite his best efforts.

I can see why people would think of Basic Instinct when watching this, I did too, but only because of Verhoeven. I wouldn't call it a remake because it's just a little too different because of the supernatural as someone said. I like them both though, but I think I prefer De Vierde Man. I think your description of it is to the point, I think you worded it very well.
I have to say I find the main characters chemistry sexier in De Vierde Man. Hmm.. I guess they put in lesbians in Basic Instinct to balance it out. Works for me!
I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake share
