discovers he only shot her in the throat, and she in turn takes a hidden shotgun and kills him. Returning to the cell, the storyteller is revealed to be Jordan, now using an artificial larynx to speak, explaining her altered voice, and the other person in the room is a priest. She reveals that since J.C. was a cop, she was doomed to be sentenced to death for killing him. When the priest asks what happened to Masterson's changeling, she offers no conclusive answer but hints that it was her. Jordan is escorted to the electric chair and executed at dawn. Some time later, the priest visits the cemetery, and opens Ophelia's grave. Release The Grave did not receive a theatrical release, but instead was given a world premiere on HBO, and was later released on VHS by Republic Pictures.
