The Doppel Chain

An old , familiar theme. A correct use of it. A realistic family life broken by the presence of a young woman in delicate situation, on a road. The explanations and the precise presence of evil. And , sure, good end of a never ending chain. Nice storytelling, inspired atmosphere and the decent performances.

Especially considering what she is telling them ... and what that might mean. I think some viewers may already be guessing right ... I know I was ... still it was fun to see this come to its only logical conclusion ... not that anyone .. asked for it (x does mark the spot and could be used to replace letter(s)) ... no pun intended.
