Asunder Two married couples–one about to have a baby–have been best friends for years. One of the women dies in an accident, and her husband becomes a stock psycho. But this 1998 feature–made without a trace of parody or even made-for-TV-style efficiency–goes on for so long before he actually kills anybody that it comes off as a terrible drama instead of a terrible thriller. Tim Reid (Once Upon a Time . . . When We Were Colored) directed a screenplay by Eric Lee Bowers; with Michael Beach, Blair Underwood, and Debbi Morgan. R, 102 min. (LA) Reid will attend the screening. a McCormick Tribune Campus Center, 2 PM.
