This movie is about a woman who seems to be a normal, everyday, garden-variety housewife, but who is actually a serial killer. The main character Beverly Sutphin (Kathleen Turner) seems like the perfect wife to Eugene (Sam Waterston) and the perfect mother to her teenagers Misty (Ricki Lake) and Chip (Matthew Lillard). The mother starts to seem crazy when we see her making prank phone calls to a neighbor she doesn’t like. We quickly learn that she is not just crazy, but a serial killer who eliminates people who don’t live up to her standards or who threaten her family in some way. Beverly’s children begin to suspect that their mother is a killer, but they don’t know what to do about it. Finally, the police department catches on. Beverly is named as a murder suspect, and the children try to hide her. The movie ends with a courtroom scene in which Beverly gains a lot of media attention.
