This and last week's episode, Small Worlds, were by far my favorite eps of the series, which is saying something, as the show continues to improve with each episode, and is beginning to find sure footing.
I don't wish to give away much in the way of plot, but it was tightly scripted, and actually scary on a number of levels.
Sure most of the ideas we've seen in this episode are staples of horror movies, but at this point, we're a fair ways into the first series, and perhaps we even care for these characters by now, unlike any horror movie of late, so there seems to be a real sense of threat.
The Torchwood gang go north to investigate a series of missing person reports and the threat they come up against may be one of the most terrifying they have ever encountered.
The entire cast is in top form this week, and everything about this ep is top-notch, though with the gore and the themes, it may not be for everyone.
Torchwood airs Saturdays on BBCAmerica, and Fridays (though a number of eps behind now) on CBC
