Death Becomes Her

ComedyFantasyHorror104 min

Madeline has married Ernest, the man once engaged to her arch-rival Helen, and their already poisonous triangle takes a supernatural turn when Helen comes back determined to reclaim him. Meryl Streep’s Madeline and Goldie Hawn’s Helen push their feud from old resentments into open warfare, with Ernest (Bruce Willis) trapped in the middle. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, the film turns vanity, jealousy, and a potion promising eternal youth into a glossy black comedy with increasingly grotesque consequences.
