White of the Eye is a 1987 British horror[3]-thriller film directed by Donald Cammell, starring David Keith and Cathy Moriarty.
It was adapted by Cammell and his wife China Kong from the 1983 novel Mrs. White, written by Margaret Tracy (pseudonym of the brothers Laurence and Andrew Klavan).
A series of murders of rich young women throughout the area of Globe, Arizona, bear the distinctive signature of a serial killer.
Clues lead Detective Charles Mendoza to Paul White, a sound expert installing hi-fi systems in wealthy people's homes.
At the police station, Mendoza's partner Phil has uncovered Paul's criminal record—they speculate on what kind of person he might be based on that information.
Paul shoots a deer and then brutally mutilates it, winding up with blood all over his face, revealing a frightening and incongruous aspect to his personality.
Joan suspects that Paul is having an affair with Ann Mason, a local married socialite, when she finds his truck parked behind her house.
Increasingly unhinged, Paul chases his daughter up through the attic, and minutes after accusing Joan of thinking that he'd "hurt my own kid," attempts target practice of her fleeing form, missing Danielle, but killing their dog Shasta.
