1h 33m
Directed by John Waters • 1994 • United States
Starring Kathleen Turner, Sam Waterston, Ricki Lake
Beverly Sutphin (Kathleen Turner) is the picture-perfect, all-American housewife, leading a modern “Leave It to Beaver” life in suburban Baltimore with her husband (Sam Waterston) and two kids (Ricki Lake and Matthew Lillard). But something is amiss: anyone who crosses Beverly or her family winds up dead in the most gruesome of ways. Built around a virtuosically demented performance from Turner, John Waters’s homage to schlockmeisters like William Castle and Herschell Gordon Lewis reveals the pathology beneath the veneer of suburban “normalcy.”
