"Operating from the bed in her ramshackle home in a dirtball New Jersey town, the gossip woman keeps a network of shady characters in check. Her husband, who serves her breakfast in bed while keeping a hooker on the side begins to inquire about a stash of cash she has stowed away. After that she knows one of them is going to die."@en . . . "The kill-off"@en . . . "This low-life soap opera, set in a decaying off-season coastal town in the north-east, is not a whodunit so much as a prelude to murder. The maliciously indiscreet Luane acts as a catalyst, accentuating the bitterness and self-loathing of the town's inhabitants. Greenwald does not attempt to repeat Thompson's experiment with narrative structure in which each chapter represents the viewpoint and the vernacular of a separate character. Her low-budget, independently produced film is constructed as a series of scenes, each with two characters talking in a system of repetition and variation. For Greenwald the women's stories were the most significant."@en . "Independent films"@en . . . . . . "Jim Thompson's The kill-off"@en . . "Drama"@en . . . . . . . . . . . . .
