Tennessee Williams Meets Mary Roberts Rinehart (weather forecast: a sopping downpour), with a final chorus out of Tales from the Crypt. Bill Condon, the fledgling director, pumps in atmosphere by the bucketful, with smoggy, soft-focus imagery and languidly caressing camera movements and lots of hollow and unmeaning Southern Gothic icons. The seal of doom was applied when one of the sisters was ill-advisedly named Charlotte, thereby evoking inevitable comparisons, if the colonnaded Louisiana plantation house and the murdered boyfriend in the swamp weren't enough, to that masterpiece of the genre, Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte. With Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judith Ivey, and Eric Stoltz. (1988) — Duncan Shepherd
