NotesA very odd piece this which many viewers will hate. Eunice (Plummer) is checking out petrol stations looking for her ex-lover, Judith. When she doesn't find Judith she kills whoever is there. She also kills a few men she has slept with. Then she meets Miriam (Reeves) who despite not being Judith she likes and they team up. Eunice is clearly mentally disturbed and for some will appear repulsive with her body swathed in chains, her tatoos and her pierced nipples. Miriam is hearing impaired (not deaf) and has a disabled mother who tries to keep her at home.
