Wicked premiere for season two, 2 November 2006
9/10
Author: Tim Hayes from Perth, Ontario, Canada

I've read other reviews that claim that Tobe Hooper's The Damned Thing is the best of the series to date and I'd have to agree. Not since last season's John Carpenter directed entry Cigarette Burns has there been an episode this well made. Hooper is in his finest form since the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Maybe that's due to the location of this film being the lonestar state as well. Whatever it is, the mojo is back people! Everything about this episode is superb. From the extremely literary script by Richard Christian Matheson adapted from a short story by Ambrose Bierce to the cinematography to the cast. and what a cast it is! Marisa Coughlan as the spunky ex wife does a fine job. Ted Raimi breaks from form as a priest who succumbs to the madness and delivers the finest performance of his career to date. And then there's lead actor Sean Patrick Flanery. Hands down this is Flanery's film. He owns this role and the film that goes with it. I have never seen him deliver a performance like this. I was glued to the screen every second he was on camera. What a kick off to the second season. If every episode is this well done, season two will be a definite step up from the first season.
