When Beth who has a split personality escapes from the sanitarium, she meets Angela. Beth tempts Angela to be a real girl by wearing Angela mother's clothes. Then both become a lethal combination.

We could consider this feature as a sort of rip off of THELMA AND LOUISE, but not a road movie. The improbable meet of two outcast women. One escaped from a psychiatric institution, a murderer wife who killed her husband. She crosses the path of a shy girl with psychological problems. There are some touching sequences in this drama thriller that looks like a TV movie. Perhaps it could have been more deeply described, I mean the relations between the two leads.
The ending is not foreseeable. Very intriguing. I don't know the director, he only made minor films or TV series in the 80and 90's.
You can live without it, but it's worthwhile.
