    This is so good

    I think of this episode all the time . It just stays with me.

    Such a good episode and concept makes you think it could happen. Also makes you think if it did happen what would you choose to do

    A must watch.

    the girl playing Joyce ruins the episode

    The plot is interesting enough, although a bit cliche. However, it's the female lead, the sister, who ruins the episode. Her fake high-pitch voice and holding her breath while she talks so she sounds like she has tissues shoved up her nose -- the sound is so intolerable I can't re-watch this one. I remember it from its first airing, and seeing it once was enough for me. It's disappointing, because the other actors are fine.

    And that's pretty much it. But I'm required to write more.

    The plot is okay, but I won't spoil it. If you watch on mute, it's okay, but don't listen to the sound because the girl's annoying voice will drive you crazy.

    She's 15 you more rons lol

    People criticizing Kirtsten Dunst like she didn't act circles around Brad Pitt and tOm CrUiSe in Interview With A Vampire lmao. Its an episode of The Outer Limits, not a big budget hollywood thriller. If anybody was trash, it was Joshua Jackson. His unibrow did a better job. I swear to god people with horrible taste should be banned from leaving reviews. The best part of this episode was the Temu brand JK Simmons playing the part of the Principal hahaha
