American Crime

American Crime A beautiful young woma who, slightly under the influence goes for a late night lake swim, ends up dead. To the newly elected neophyte Sheriff it sounds like a typical drowning accident. Jesse (Rachael Lee Cook), a young ambitious news anchor from the local TV station assigned to cover the story, discovers a video of the drowned woman. On the tape she is followed, and viewed shopping, dressing and undressing. Jesse wonders if the victim knew she was being followed.

Is the tape a joke or something much more sinister? Jesse, her feminist news producer Jane (Annabella Sciorra) and their assistant Rob (Kip Pardue) all think something might be afoul. The investigating reporters first solicit help from the Sheriff, but without his support they decide to investigate the tape and the death. Another young woman is found dead... another tape arrives, this time sent directly to the news team. Anxiously watching the tape to see what it contains, they witness the second dead woman being followed, hunted and, finally, brutalized. Now they are sure they are on the right track. But just as the video appears to end, it flickers back to life and their enthusiasm turns to horror as they realise the killer is now watching them! The story turns in on itself as the reporters discover that suddenly the past meets the future as Albert Cray (Cary Elwes), the distant third party narrator of the television reality show ''American Crime'' is suddenly vaulted into the horrific current events.
