"The film follows Hall Baltimore (
Val Kilmer), a down on his luck writer who specializes in novels based upon
witch hunting.
[2] At a book signing he is approached by Sheriff Bobby LaGrange (
Bruce Dern), an eccentric fan with two requests: that Hall read his latest work and that he also accompany him to the morgue to view the body of a recent murder victim, as Bobby believes that it would make for a great story. Hall reluctantly agrees and at the morgue he learns that the person was murdered by a serial killer. Despite offers from Bobby, Hall opts to not look at the victim's face. At the coffee shop he learns about a local hotel that once sheltered
Edgar Allan Poe. This, along with the murders and various other odd features of the town, prompt Hall to announce to his wife that he wants to write a piece based upon the town."
Truly a piece of cr*p film by one of the best directors of the modern era. This was nothing consistent except for my boredom. Even though this film features Val Kilmer, he couldn't save this film from the shaky hands of Francis Ford Coppola. I really don't know why he is did this awful film. I won't suggest this film to anyone.
0/5
