And a frying pan is a perfectly effective bludgeoning weapon.

It was smart and executed perfectly. I'm still thinking about how great it was. I didn't put the part about the guy driving his wife's car together till five minutes after I finished the story. Everything was wrapped up in this story. Awesome pick this week.</p> Wow, I had to comment on this one. It was smart and executed perfectly. I’m still thinking about how great it was.

More thriller than horror apart from the stuff about waterlogged skin sloughing off. On the whole, a good exposition of a "Who's the real psycho?" storyline.</p> A nice little nearly-flash.
