Goofs

Pancuronium Bromide is safe... If you perform an endotracheal intubation and mechanic ventilation after administering it. It's an old anesthesia drug and it paralyses your breathing musculature. The character says he used it on himself. He was all alone and that would certainly kill him. The drug would certainly kill the girl also as we don't see him doing anything to aid her breathing.

Quotes

Seth: Shhh, shh, shh. What I just put in you, it's called pancuronium bromide, it's a paralyzing agent. It stings a little. Don't worry, it's safe, I tested it on myself.

User Reviews

Poor attempt to adapt a perfect short story.

I read the (not so) short story this movie was adapted from that kept me glued to the pages with a surprising and shocking ending that stuck with me some 25 or so years later!

This movie did not do the original story justice and quite frankly screwed up the original story pretty bad.

Even as a stand alone movie, the twists, yes plural, twists are weak and predictable and pathetic.
