Twilight Zone – Acts of Terror (12/03/88)

“Well,” as the commenters say, “there’s nothing funny about this.”

Louise Simonson, after years of physical and psychological abuse by her husband, gets the ability to conjure attack dogs for protection.

That’s about it.  The episode really destroyed my desire to think any more about it, which, I guess, means it was effective.  The thought of the prison Louise was in and the excuses she made for her bruises continued long after the brief enjoyment of seeing her idiot husband gets his due (actually getting off way too easy).

Melanie Mayron and Kenneth Walsh were amazing in their roles.  If I have any criticism, it is that maybe it was a little too real for this often-silly edition of The Twilight Zone.

  1. I really like this episode in the twilight zone. although I have never personally experienced this I have relatives that have. I cannot stand a man that abuses a woman like that
    Mren that do that are psychopathic losers. .Every man that does that to a woman should have a n aggressive Doberman Pinscher tear them
    apart. Well written . Great actors.
