When Paul goes back to the car for cigarettes, he's given no chance to ponder the carcinogenic ramifications as an ax blade makes the point moot. Panic-stricken, Helen runs into the woods, only to find Odis Pickett as her only savior. He takes her back to his place, where his pregnant wife Emmy, thick-as-a-brick son Bo, and available-since-she-was-12 daughter Sarah give her a real "family" welcome. Helen's immediate danger is delayed, but her newfound shelter shows signs of danger. Written by Ed Sutton See less
