About Magenta
Magenta, a precocious teenage girl, will stop at nothing to have her desires met in this thriller by Gregory C. Haynes. Michael seems to have it all, that is, until Magenta, his wife's sister, comes into the picture. When Magenta seduces Michael into an illicit affair, his wife and daughter leave him -- and get killed in a car accident. As Michael tries to piece his life back together, he finds out some dark secrets about his own daughter...
Directed by Gregory C. Haynes, Magenta leans on a strong ensemble — Crystal Atkins, Julian McMahon, Alison Storry — 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 thriller titles of 1997.
