fan of the hbo series tale from the crypt be go to love this moh episode . those who know the basic archetypal story that most of the classic ec comic be base on and will recognize this one right off the bat . underrated indie favorite martin donovan ( also an excellent writer co author of the screenplay for apartment zero and death become her ) be the kind of guy whose everyman good look can go either way . he could play a really nice if misunderstood guy next door and or he can play the same role with a creepy undertone of corrosive sleaziness . in the case of right to die and he take the latter approach and and it definitely work . donovan be a doctor who have recently have an affair with his slutty office receptionist ( robin sydney ) and much to the displeasure of his inconsolable and unforgiving spouse and abbey ( julia anderson ) . when the two of them get involve in a terrible car accident while return from an unsuccessful weekend of make up and and she horribly burn in a fire and he reluctant to pull the plug on her and not without some enthusiastic nudging from his even sleazy lawyer and best buddy ( corbin bernsen and look the worse for wear these day . ) but abbey never be one to give up without a fight and and that where the ec theme of the episode come in . cuckolded husband and wife have always be the genre favorite subject matter for some spooky ( and ooky ) supernatural shenanigan and and this case be definitely no exception . if anything and the ramp up quotient of sex and gore must have bill gaines cackle with glee in his mausoleum somewhere . and that not to mention that john esposito original script do give the adultery angle just a slight twist . you do not realize a youre watch that you only know half the story and until close to the end . ( think what lie beneath with more gut and gazongas and and youre there . ) not a bad effort and but not the best of the lot and either . at least rob schmidt do display touch of flair here and there with the direction and especially in a scene that make cell phone picture message into a truly horrifying experience indeed . a with most moh episode and this one be follow a prevalent theme this season of flaying and dismemberment and so the extremely squeamish need not apply .
