What's to say about this one? It's iconic for a reason.

Very moody and atmospheric, but it's the sound that impresses me the most. Janet's voice is so haunting and tragic. Brilliant performance.

Just proves that it's not all about the twist. Even if you see it coming or know about it from past experience, it's just such a beatifully executed piece of television that it still remains entertaining and thought provoking.

Watched this episode to see if it lived up to its iconic status, and definitely wasnt disappointed
The makeup by William Tuttle is very unnerving, although the ending with the other "normal" person from the tribe of unwanted humans does seem a bit of an anticlimax to be honest

I haven't seen this episode since I was a kid but I obviously new the twist. Still highly enjoyable though. The camera work and lighting is outstanding.
