Starring Kevin Bacon, Neve Campbell, Matt Dillon
This swamp-steamy erotic thriller—another cult classic from HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER director John McNaughton—journeys from Miami’s upscale suburban beach communities and into the murky waters of the Everglades for a lurid tale of deceit, sex, and greed. Neve Campbell and Denise Richards are the teenagers who accuse their high-school guidance counselor (Matt Dillon) of rape. As Sergeant Ray Duquette (Kevin Bacon) investigates, he begins to suspect there is more to the story, leading him into a sordid mystery that proves as dangerous and unpredictable as a hungry gator.
