Member Rating:  
The husband of a woman whose flesh has been so horribly charred that she is completely comatose but technically still alive is haunted by her violent apparition as he attempts to make the difficult decision whether or not to end her suffering in Wrong Turn director Rob Schmidt's contribution to season two of Showtime's Masters of Horror series. In medical terms, Abby may technically still be alive, though anyone unfortunate enough to have suffered such a grisly, fiery fate as she would most certainly wished they had died. Now, as Abby lies catatonic in her hospital bed, her guilt-ridden husband, Cliff (Martin Donovan), struggles to get the court order that will allow him to bring his wife's misery to a merciful end. Now, as Abby's condition begins to deteriorate, her vital signs continually flatline and doctors race to revive her each time. Though they are repeatedly successful in their efforts, each time Abby dies her apparition appears to lash out against those who appear to be taking advantage of her dire situation. Each time the specter appears, it is more powerful than before, and now, should Cliff attempt to turn off her life-support system, he too will become a target of his wife's supernatural wrath. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I gotta say this is 1 episode I hadn't looked forward 2, since there was no fave direector or actor here but have 2 say it was one of the better episodes being scary, creepy, gross, and most pleasing so far of season 2 so far. It does a twist 2 the ghost haunting theme w/ great affect and raising interesting moral & ethical questions about the topic of one's right 2 die. when I was finished viewing this it was more satisfing than some of the episodes and so looked forward 2 w/ directors and stars I look forward 2 watching. 1 fav moment comes in a special feature, when asked what will suprise the audience the most, Corbin Bersen says, "that I'm a D*mn fine actor."

    Lets face it. Master of Horror series sometimes leave much to be desired. Like a bunch of ideas rushed together and whatever the outcome is, is what you get. The they are still enjoyable and some pretty good. This is one of tose pretty good one. This one had more thought to it. I would say it is a worth viewing.

    Interestingly enough, this movie reminded me of the Terry Shiavo case with a goulish twist. All in all it was a decent movie. And maybe the writers' thoughts of how the Shiavo case played out in Twilight Zone time.
