在这部Some Folks Call It a Sling Blade短片/剧情/惊悚片中,A must-see for any lover of the feature length film. A young reporter (Molly Ringwald) comes to a California asylum for the criminally insane to interview Karl Childers (Thornton), an inmate who is about to be released. In a calm and eerie monolgue he explains how he came to kill his mother and his feelings about his actions that continue to haunt him.
Twenty-five years after commiting a double murder, Karl Childers is going to be released from an institution for the criminally insane. A local reporter comes to talk to him, and after some fussing about her gender, the institution's director lets her talk to Karl (after all, he'll have to talk to women after his release). Karl talks about his life leading up to the crime, and the reporter listens in horror.
