Benefit Of The Doubt
87 minutes (18) 1992
Director: Jonathan Heap
Cast: Amy Irving, Donald Sutherland
review by Martin L. Baines

Single parent, Karen (Amy Irving), feels threatened on hearing that her father (Donald Sutherland) has just been paroled from prison after serving a 22 year stretch for murdering her mother. Inevitably, dark secrets of the forgotten past jump like ghost train skeletons out of the family closet. With climactic pursuits against breathtaking Arizona scenery plus a mesmerising performance from Sutherland as the Norman Bates type killer, Benefit Of The Doubt is a gripping domestic thriller which outdoes Scorsese’s overblown Cape Fear remake for sheer white knuckle tension and plot twisting shocks.

originally published in VideoVista #1 (November 1994)
