Rotten Cotten




THE HEARSE-1980-Jane (Trish Van Devere) goes to live at her late aunt’s mansion after an emotional divorce. Most of the townsfolk take an instant dislike to her. Joseph Cotton is the unfriendly real estate agent. A hearse seems to follow Jane around and after reading the aunt’s diary (she was involved in witchcraft) she begins to have weird dreams. She meets an urbane guy named Tom (David Gautreaux) and they have an affair but he has a secret. I’m not exactly sure what to make of the ending. With Donald Hotton as a strange reverend, Donald Petrie and Perry Lang. 

This was one of the last roles for the distinguished Cotton who was also in Michael Cimino’s infamous HEAVEN’S GATE the same year. Director George Bowers was also a film editor.

Thanks for reading!
