Okay, I watched this episode last night.
Very difficult episode to watch considering the subject matter (rape and murder), but it was well written and acted. I know a lot of people will see cliches in this one, but I don't see it that way on this ep, and I don't think Amber would have done it if she thought the cliche was there, not after Buffy.
Amber was superb. Her character was not in the least bit likeable (obviously, as she drugs gay women for her husband to rape and then drags them out into the woods and shoots them in their genetalia to kill them) but the character was a complex one and Amber portrayed those complexities brilliantly. She was unnervingly convincing as a psychopath, so much so I would hate to be on Amber's bad side.
It is a shame that this ep was never shown, as it showed Amber as an actress with great range (which we all knew, but it was nice for non-Amber fans to see it too). I do hope Amber continues to find roles that challenge, although maybe not quite as scary.
