Serial Mom
1994 - Colour - 93 Minutes
Staring:
Kathleen Turner
as Beverly Sutphin
Sam Waterson as
Eugene Sutphin
Rikki Lake as
Misty Sutphin
Matthew Lillard
as Chip Sutphin
Traci Lord as
Carl's Date
Plot:
Beverly Sutphin wants
here family to be truly happy, and will go to extents that most people
avoid: killing those who make their lives even slightly miserable. Be it
from not rewinding a video, to a 'dental problem' stopping Eugene and Beverly
from sharing a morning of bird watching.
This surreal black comedy has yet more surprises. When the police finally arrest Beverly Sutphin, she is elevated into a position of Town hero with the majority of people backing her and hoping for the 'Not Guilty' verdict, otherwise it would be a misuse of justice!
