Out of nowhere, Jamie (Henry Thomas) starts having the feeling he
occasionally in another body, meaning he loses grip with his own reality
but sees, hears, tastes and feels everything the other person sees, hears,
tastes and feels. Eventually he finds out he is in a woman's body (he
finds out when he is her while she gets a good shagging). Naturally this
ruins his life, especially since these weird experiences can attack Jamie
at any time, like when he's driving a car or having sex or is supposed to
spend quality time with his son (of course, he's divorced and the son
lives with his mother, hey, this is US-TV).
But the question remains, how does Jamie take it ?
(Well, this question does not actually remain, but the film poses it
anyways.)
Why, he of course falls in love with the woman (big WHAT ?!?),
even after he witnesses her slach her lover (what what what ?!?), and goes
to quite some length to find her. Finally, he tracks her down in Canada
and finds out her name is Catherine (and is played by Lucie Laurier), but
considering he has spent quite some time in her body and is supposed to be
knowing her, he makes a mess of chatting her up. Ultimately though, he
manages to invite her to dinner and tells her his story ... and ultimately
she invites him back to her home - and threatens him with a gun, thinking
he is a police spy traing to get a confession out of her. However, he
manages to take the gun from her, and when she threatens him with a knife,
he has to shoot her - exactly in the moment when he enters her body once
again, and feels what it is to die ...
Oh boy, what a badly written story, made all the worse by the fact that
it is taken seriosly ... I mean come on, this is bullshit, period, at
least add a little humour.
Of course, that director Mick Garris (directing his own screenplay
here) is anything but a master of horror, as the series title would
suggest, but rather a mediocre director of TV-movies does not help one
bit, the whole episode totally lacks atmosphere, scares and suspense -
actually the only reason that Mick Garris was admitted to a series called Masters
of Horrors was because he was the series' creator and one of its
co-producers. Probably the worst episode of the generally rather
disappointing series.
