The wife&#8217;s mother starts a(n underdeveloped) media war against Martin to keep the wife alive.  Martin enlists lawyer Corbin Bernsen (not the washed-up catcher from major league [that was tom berenger] but the grumpy old veteran player) to get the wife unplugged.  But a bigger problem is that whenever the wife flatlines, her ghost comes after Martin (and sometimes Corbin) and tries to kill him.  So Martin has to turn a 180 and try everything to keep his wife alive, even if it means skinning his girlfriend when a donor doesn&#8217;t come through in time.  Fabulous ending, he misses the clock, she dies, and he resignedly walks into his house where the ghost is waiting.<\/p>\n<p>MoH motifs: naked breasts, skinlessness (those two unfortunately collide), recognizable actors doing silly things, that one dark highway that I see in every episode.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/deeperintomovies.net\/journal\/images\/righttodie3.jpg\" alt=\"image\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director of so-what teen-horror &#8220;Wrong Turn&#8221; (and upcoming cary elwes starrer &#8220;The Alphabet Killer&#8221;) brings a surprisingly great episode to the so-far dismal second season of Masters of Horror.
