"Fun" is a 1994 independent drama film starring Alicia Witt and Renée Humphrey, directed by Rafal Zielinski. Both Witt and Humphrey won a Special Jury Recognition for Technical Acting at the 1995 Sundance Film Festival. The film centres on the murder of an elderly woman by two mentally unstable girls. It received high critical praise, but failed at the box office; it has since performed well on subsequent video releases.

Plot

The film is told in flashbacks detailing the girls' relationship (in color), and their time in prison (in black and white). Bonnie, aged 14, (Witt) and Hillary, aged 15, (Humphrey) meet at a bus stop in Los Angeles, California and begin a relationship. They stroll around their city, chuck rocks onto a highway from an overpass bridge, run rampant in shopping malls, and play video games.

Their day escalates into an eruption of violence and rage when they brutally stab an elderly woman to death. They then run to a gas station and attempt to wash off the blood from their clothes. After their arrest, they claim that the murder was purely just for "fun". The story moves from the juvenile detention centre where the girls are kept, to the girls on the day of the killing.

imilar films

Peter Jackson's highly acclaimed film "Heavenly Creatures", released the same year as "Fun", is a very similar film. It centres on two girls' obsession with each other, and how the friendship escalated into the murder of the mother of one of the girls. Neither of the films copied one another, as Heavenly Creature's plot is based on a true story that occurred in New Zealand in the 1950s. "Thirteen" also features a similar plot, revolving around two girls' dangerous relationship with each other. "Butterfly Kiss", a British film of the same period, deals with a similarly murderous relationship between two women.
