there is a lot wrong with this made for TV movie. the production values, script and some of the performances can all be faulted. at times it hovers uneasily between lurid pot-boiler and holocaust memorial and yet....
i was curiously moved by the ending, which is rather forlorn.
by the end a sort of catharsis has been achieved, but the women seem in some ways diminished by their experience. whether this is because they have blood on their hands (albeit that of a monster), or the emotional toll it has taken is open to interpretation. but i liked the real feeling of sadness, and indeed loneliness, that they and we are left with. it was an unusually complex set of feelings that one rarely experiences at the end of a TV movie.
