...helped Gore smother Bradley: Money, media and the machine. Gore's ad campaign exposed Bradley's conservative Senate voting record and contested his position on nearly every major issue. The media effectively ignored Bradley during the heat of primary season because of firebrand John McCain--who also took a chunk of the independent vote with him. And the continual whoosh of endorsements in every state from elected officials--from town crier to state senator--made Gore seem invincible.

In another sequence, one of the sisters heaves the other, strapped to a straight-backed chair, up a narrow flight of stairs, thumping on each step until they're around the corner and out of sight. In another flash, a chunk of bloody flesh hits the wall. The beauty of all this is that we are given hints of a story without ever being let in on what it's all about. We identify the borrowed horror techniques, like inside jokes, but are kept at arm's length from the world...
