This is one of those stories that is timeless. It's somewhat basic, but so evocative and so we'll executed that it stands the test of time. The performance of the main character is so poignant and hauntingly emotive, so as to drive the core of this story right through your heart in the form of an icicle.

But the best thing about this one is how it's shot... The close ups. The shadows. It's delicious, every last frame of it.

The best episodes of the Zone are bigger than the series and seem to stand on their own as pillars of cture and of narrative art. This is definitely one of those. Once you've seen it, you will have registered it in your brain and it will stay there.
