About Murder in Law
A young man's mother comes from Louisiana to live with her son in San Francisco. What her son doesn't know is that Mom was confined to a mental hospital in Louisiana, and she murdered an orderly to escape.
Directed by Tony Jiti Gill, Murder in Law leans on a strong ensemble — Marilyn Adams, Joe Estevez, Sandy Snyder — 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.
