Question for Brian Taggert


Did you intend for Sheila to sort-of take over the lead for a large chunk of the film? If so, I think it's a nice approach, and helps in creating two strong characters you don't want to see die.

If anything, I didn't like her exit. I mean, yeah, we're assured she survived, but Deborah barely reacts to finding her, and the last time we see her, it's a mere close-up on her face, with nothing else involved.

Deborah was running for her life. She didn't have time to give much of a reaction or express her grievance over Sheila's condition. Sheila wasn't dead, only viciously attacked and she was a very lucky woman. Colt couldn't have cared less whether or not she lived or died. Deborah's predicament took precedence at the time to outsmart Colt and survive.
