4.0

The present tense, head hopping narration is almost lush. As a twist on the mystical contagion trope, like The Ring, this holds up well. The 4 American tourists are annoying enough to mostly enjoy watching them get picked off. There's not enough time for character growth, but certain insecurities are revealed.

I'd have enjoyed more than the flat placeholder we're given for the police woman investigating the deaths.

A decent Twilight Zone episode.
