I know some don't enjoy Kitty once Josette emerges, but I agree Vlad, this scene is a great one - very haunting. The troubled protagonist and and his reincarnated lost love is an emblematic theme that is featured in many wonderful films, both within and outside the horror genre - from "The Mummy" to "Vertigo" to "Bram Stoker's Dracula."
It's not that I think the idea of having Kitty as the reincarnation of Josette was a bad one. I don't. I think they could have done some really cool stuff with it.
What I dislike is that we saw quite a bit of Kitty. She had a strong and interesting personality and she'd obviously lived a lot. Suddenly, she turns into Josette and all of that is totally negated--her experiences, her memories,
who Kitty was was all gone. It was like watching Maggie being brainwashed into "Josette" all over again, but worse somehow, because Maggie was being traumatized and there were supernatural powers at work and Kitty is really supposed to be Josette.
I find that very disturbing.
I think too that if they'd kept Kitty's personality intact and had her integrating her memories and feelings of Josette's into that, we could have been treated to some absolutely kickass television. It could have still been haunting and erotic, but it would have had a richness and a depth to it and it would have been remarkable.
