Description
Two friends strangle a classmate and invite his family and mutual friends to dinner -- with the body stuffed inside the trunk for a buffet table. Inspired by the Leopold-Loeb murder. Shot in eight-minute segments and edited together using some rather unconventional methods, Rope takes place almost entirely on a one-room set.
