I watch a lot of horror films, but this was the first film to really shock me in a long time. It may seem strange to some (it certainly does to me) but this has the same rating here in Australia (M) as Steel Magnolias. Made for theatres but debuted on U.S. TV, it tells the story of Paris Trout, chillingly played by Dennis Hopper, who in a racist rage attempts to kill two black women, one only 12 years old. Her mother survives however, and Paris Trout is eventually brought to trial, which to him is unbelievable, as he cannot possibly conceive he has done anything wrong. Barbara Hershey plays his brutalised wife, while Ed Harris is solid as usual as the man's lawyer who is finally fed up. The scene with the bottle will stay with me for a long while.
