Beth Dover gives a brave performance as the troubled, abused Kate who goes for a rest by working as a ' fire scout' living in a tower in the wilds of Idaho- its a decent set up to a woman slowly going mad.
What let's it down is the script doesn't give Kate much development to make her want to go on a killing spree in the final act ; I could understand that after years of abuse by her Uncle and her boyfriend she would snap but here it's rather unconvincing- not helped that the audience can tell that the character ' Bertha' is clearly not real.
Every time something unnerving happens I could tell Kate was dreaming, this went on too many times.
It's a interesting set up that needed a couple of script rewrites.
