Review of Jar

Our episode starts as a private eye Jack Bateman checks into a strange isolated hotel somewhere deep in a swamp with the intention of finding Ethel Cooper a woman who has been missing for several days. Mr. Hallet the hotel manager hasn't recalled seeing her saying she checked out and hasn't been seen since. Bateman is suspicious due to the fact several other people around the area have been reported missing as well. He decides to stick around and in the process meets Ann a young beautiful woman who is stuck in a horrible marriage to her much older husband abusive George (who may have a criminal background as well). One night Ann gives George a mysterious Jar which contains an odd face hugging type creature which hooks on to George's face and kills him, melting him down to nothing in the process. Bateman runs in and catches Ann, who confesses to the crime despite there being no evidence. She explains to Bateman that the creature is a strange sort of monster that comes from the swamps, and that Hallet has been keeping them in pickle jars for his own purposes. The two reconcile and have sex, following this they agree two enter a partnership when Ann obtains George's money. However both may have there own intentions when it comes who claims it. This is a pretty good episode primarily due to some nice prosthetic effects used towards the middle when our "Aliens" type face huger monster kills George. Other then that there's enough going on to fill out the short 21 minute run time, the only sad part is there's really no ending, it's left pretty much up to the viewer the fate of our two leads and while I'm usually not against this, its almost like they just ran out of time and had to wrap the episode up in a hurry. Despite this there's a nice cast on display here including Fritz Weaver from "Creepshow" who doesn't appear as much as I wish he would in it, and Gina Gershon who is giving a strange kinda forced performance almost like she's in a stage play or something. Overall, its a perfectly fine episode, but, the lack of any sort of ending leaves it lacking for me.
