The lead actor and her animalistic twitches and movements were extraordinary. The non-verbal internal battles she had throughout between her giving in to the “curse” and fighting it, in part, due to her duty, protection and love of her son, were again amazingly portrayed, and created the necessary “good vs evil” tension. The culmination of these scenes, the audience seeing her completely “turned” at the end, and thus making the decision her son has to make so much easier! Excellent, edge of seat tension, until the end.
