Produced by the same team that bankrolled the hit
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, this violent domestic thriller is often compared to that mega-hit. Screenwriter
Wesley Strick made his directorial debut with this script by
Michael Auerbach.
Vincent Spano and
Moira Kelly are Russell and Dana Clifton, a successful but childless yuppie couple who adopt a mesmerizing young girl named Janie (
Julia Devin). Janie has suicidal tendencies, however -- she walks out into crowded streets, keeps a butcher knife under her bed, and sometimes cuts herself. She also has psychotic white-trash parents, John and Leann Netherwood (
Keith Carradine and
Daryl Hannah). The Netherwoods are crooks forced to give up their daughter, but once released from jail, they are intent on getting her back. They kill an adoption agency worker and a police officer as part of their vendetta, terrorizing the suburban town as they target the Cliftons in their all-out war for the return of Janie.
