The Skeleton In The Closet – DVD

Skeletons in the Closet is written and produced by Donna and Wayne Powers; Wayne also directed the film. First conceived over ten years ago, the screenplay was finished about seven years ago and has bounced around from studio to studio over the last few years. The Powers, who also wrote the screenplays for Valentine and Deep Blue Sea, got the screenplay back and brought it to Artisan, who gave them a $1.5 million budget if they signed Treat Williams. Realizing this was better than nothing, the Powers accepted, and the film was shot in twenty days in the New Hampshire area. The film is also notable, as it is shot entirely on high definition video. Starring in the film are: Treat Williams (Will Reed), Linda Hamilton (Tina), and Jonathan Jackson (Seth Reed).

When Will Reed learns of a local boy's brutal murder, he questions his son Seth about the incident, as the two were seen together earlier that night. Seth admits that he killed him, but the next day, when the real killer is caught, Seth confesses that he just wanted to see what his father would say. However, when Will starts getting presents from his son that may or may not be connected with more killings in the area, he begins to suspect his son is a serial killer. But did the son really kill those people, or is Will just paranoid?
