Plot
Summary: Helen is the young girlfriend
of good-looking Jackson Baring. When Helen gets pregnant
and marries Jackson, they decide to move to his hometown,
Kilronan, and have a baby there. But his mother Martha,
who lives there, starts to do weird things, and obviously
she's not too friendly to Helen.
Comments:
Thought it was a more than respectable suspense thriller.
It definitely kept me riveted throughout. Gwenyth
Paltrow, who was offered Kate Winslet's part in Titanic
at the time she committed to this project, devles
into her role as the unsuspecting fiancee with grace
and down to earth affability. But this is clearly
Jessica Lange's film. Her psychotic mother-in-law
is one of the most disturbing characters I have come
across in any film. In my opinion this film rates
an 8/10.
