The script for this episode was well crafted and taut. No fat, with good pacing. Having never heard this particular episode, I was very curious where it was all leading. The fact that the painting seemed to state the same words to everyone led me to believe it was not auto-suggestion as I would expect different individuals to "hear" different words, if the message was emanating from their own subconscious.

I enjoyed that fact that this show is open to interpretation in several ways; was the painting actually talking? Why did the host want to kill his guests? What was the sequel to this story?

RMT at its best. The only thing the show lacked was a werewolf.
