About Hanging Heart
Denny is a struggling actor whose girlfriend's dead body is found in the theater where they have been preparing for their new production. Being one of many suspects, Denny must track down the killer as others around him are found dead one by one. Can he unmask the killer before he becomes the next victim?
Directed by Jimmy Lee, Hanging Heart leans on a strong ensemble — Barry Wyatt, Jake Henry, Francine Lapensée — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1989.
