5/10
Average - reasonable ...

This movie was a mix of good and bad points. In general, it's actually a hair above average, but not by much. Compared to other movies in the "Masters of Horror" series, it is above average.

Basically the story centers around a couple that is involved in a car accident that leaves the husband OK, but the wife in comatose, completely burned condition. In line with what he believes she would want, he works to get her off of life support. Things get strange when unpleasant things begin to happen to the husband.

The story is reasonably predictable but there are a few decent plot twists thrown in. The mode in which the story is told is pretty good - as we watch the story unfold, we get flashbacks of the past which give us more insight into what is happening.

The problem with this movie is that the horror element is pretty standard fare and the story is not interesting enough to carry the movie. There was nothing really shocking or scary. Furthermore, there were some long, predictable scenes that could really have been cut down.

Overall, the movie doesn't really drop-off or take-off. If you don't watch it, you won't have missed much. If you're a fan of the "Masters of Horror" series, then this movie will be a step up from the norm.
