剧情介绍
一份低俗小报的编辑违背了自己新闻工作者的职业道德,让一桩20年前的谋杀案死灰复燃,结果酿成了悲剧性的结果。
Hinchcliffe, the ruthless publisher of a sleazy New York tabloid, is concerned that the ethical journalistic policies of City Editor Randall have caused a drop in circulation. He pressures the newsman to run more sensational stories including resurrecting the twenty year old Vorhees Murder Case. Although the perpetrator's actions were ultimately judged justifiable, and she has been subsequently living an exemplary life in anonymity, Hunchcliffe insists Randall revisit the story. Randall assigns Isopod, an alcoholic degenerate, to dig up anything lurid that he find. The unprincipled reporter fraudulently insinuates himself into the Vorhees' home masquerading as a minister and gets the expose he sought. Yellow journalism triumphs, and a decent woman's name gets dragged through the mud again... with tragic consequences.
3.5/5
Nancy Voorhees打电话给报社恳求他们不要再报道自己的事情而被不断拒绝时的分屏镜头真是太赞了,突显处于镜头最中间的Nancy Voorhees一点点崩溃到绝望。真是个悲惨的故事,如果最后女儿真的开了枪悲剧就又循环往复,却也丝毫不影响媒体继续吃人血馒头,好在她遇到的是像她父亲一样的丈夫。Warner那段强忍痛苦跟女儿女婿诀别的戏份真实到哭了
故事简单粗暴又虐心,爱德华的“业界良心”来得太迟了,媒体在利益面前丧失道德底线已是司空见惯。★★★☆
报纸业的业界良心啊,现在也是一样。很有讽刺意味。
