About this movie

A big-city reporter travels to the small town where her mother has been arrested for the murder of an elderly woman that she works for as a maid. Kathy Bates, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Christopher Plummer star in an atmospheric whodunit that's part mystery, part human drama and wholly entertaining.

the acting was great all around, but Bates really delivered a truly brilliant performance. The mind of Stephen King with a perfect formula of everything else, a real classic!

One of the best Steven King movies ever. It's very relatable i could see myself in the movie, I would have been the cop who had it in for Delores.
