Curiosità

Scorn is a Canadian dramatic television film directed by Sturla Gunnarsson. It dramatizes the true story of Darren Huenemann, a gay teenager from Victoria, British Columbia, who manipulated his classmates Derik Lord and David Muir into murdering his mother Sharon and grandmother Doris in his grandmothers's Tsawwassen home in 1990.

Production

The film was based in part on Lisa Hobbs Birnie's non-fiction book Such a Good Boy, as well as direct personal interviews of Huenemann by screenwriter Andrew Rai Berzins at Stony Mountain Penitentiary.

Around the time of the film's premiere, Atom Egoyan revealed that he had considered making his own film about Huenemann, but had decided against it because as a former resident of Victoria who personally knew many of the locations tied to the story, he felt like he couldn't distance himself enough from it to view it objectively.

It faced minor controversy for a scene which briefly depicted Huenemann and his boyfriend Matt (Cadotte) in bed together, with their nude buttocks visible but no private parts. The CBC permitted the nude scene to be broadcast, but required Gunnarsson to remove usages of the word "fuck" from the dialogue.
