In the rural desolation of the movie Pocahontas,
Virginia [released under the title The Turning],
a young man (Michael Dolan) who has a past
with some white-supremacist organizations terrorizes his
father's new, free-spirited lover (Karen Allen) in order
to drive her away and bring together his long-estranged
parents. "It's dark and extremely realistic about a
dysfunctional family," says Tess Harper, who plays the
alcoholic mom. "It's about the state of America, and being
afraid, and how that leads some people to belong to extreme and
narrow groups."
