Paint It Black is a 1989 American thriller film directed by Tim Hunter and starring Rick Rossovich, Sally Kirkland, Doug Savant, Julie Carmen, and Martin Landau.[2] The film is about a struggling California artist who becomes a suspect after a serial killer murders his gallery-owner lover. It was released to Vestron Video and is one of the company's last titles before it folded.[1]
The film had a troubled production history, as the original director Roger Holzberg was replaced by Hunter following his work on the acclaimed River's Edge.[3] The script underwent so many changes that writers Timothy Harris and Herschel Weingrod chose to be credited in the finished film under the pseudonyms Michael Drexler and A.H. Zacharias.[3]
