- Quotes
[opening narration]
Narrator: Jordan Herrick, syndicated columnist, whose work appears in more than a hundred newspapers. By nature a cynic, a disbeliever, caught for the moment by a lovely vision. He knows the vision he's seen is no dream; she is Pamela Morris, renowned movie star, whose name is a household word and whose face is known to millions. What Mr. Herrick does not know is that he has also just looked into the face - of the Twilight Zone.
Featured review
Oh, oh, here she comes... Watch out, boy, she'll chew you up!
Well, darn... Here I was all prepared for "An Occurrence at Owl Creek", supposedly one of the absolute highlights of the entire TZ-series, but apparently that episode seems to be missing on my "Twilight Zone: the Complete Collection" DVD-boxset. Not so complete after all, then. Hopefully, I can catch the episode elsewhere.
Anyways, "Queen of the Nile" was good, but obviously very predictable. From the moment we lay eyes on female protagonist Pamela Morris, a celebrated Hollywood actress, it's plain obvious that she has a sinister secret to retain her eternal youth and staggering beauty. The only question is what exactly her secret is. Handsome journalist Jordan Herrick will soon find out, but I doubt it'll be the scoop he was hoping for.
It's a familiar concept handled in various ways already (for example, "The Picture of Dorian Grey" or the countess Bathory legends), but this is nevertheless an enjoyable little shocker, thanks to good performances and a surprisingly gruesome finale (which is quite rare in the Twilight Zone universe).
