CAROLINA SKELETONS is a TV movie exploring the same subject matter as MISSISSIPPI BURNING and IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT. It stars Louis Gossett Jr. as a former soldier looking into the mystery surrounding a historical crime for which his brother was executed as a boy. While investigating he discovers a small town hot with corruption and prejudice, and soon finds himself in very real danger. While this production suffers from the typical TV movie trappings in terms of lack of budget and tame delivery of the subject matter, Gossett Jr. is good value as the lead and the likes of Bruce Dern, Melissa Leo, Clifton James, and Richard Denkins can be relied upon to deliver solid support.
