Two Films by Amy Holden Jones
Beginning her career as an editor for Martin Scorsese and Hal Ashby, Amy Holden Jones soon proved her own skill as a director with the Roger Corman–produced cult classic The Slumber Party Massacre , a uniquely sophisticated, subversive take on the slasher genre in which she made brilliantly economical use of a limited budget. That film’s success allowed her to next direct her own script, resulting in Love Letters , a multilayered exploration of a forbidden love affair—featuring a riveting performance from Jamie Lee Curtis—that revealed Jones to be a dramatist of uncompromising psychological complexity.
