Cries of the Unborn

I really liked The Life Zone so I was pretty excited to find out that this was the sequel. The acting was great from everyone but (most of) the jury cast. That acting was too stiff and that aspect of the story was completely unrealistic. No deliberation would become some narcissist's morality play. The jury spent zero time focusing on the law, not to mention the verbiage was more geared toward a civil action than a criminal trial. The story was good, just the morality play part was ridiculous. And is there some reason nearly every person in this movie, including the children who were supposedly born here at Life Zone, has a foreign accent? That was so weird and distracting.

This thoughtful drama seems to be inspired by '12 Angry Men' as what at first seems a clear case for a guilty verdict becomes increasingly questionable as the jurors deliberate and consider all aspects of the evidence. Some added supernatural touches make it all the more interesting. Good script and performances all around, but the special effects are limited by the size of the budget.

A truly disgusting display of prejudice and ignorance. When conservative thinkers dismiss the notion that those like them want to force women to be nothing more than baby making machines forced to give birth, a slave in their own bodies, the handmaiden's tale come to life, it's movies like these that show their platitudes to be false.

A Fetus Is Not A Baby. regardless of how often you lie about it. It doesn't make it true.

Something being alive does not make it murder to kill it. Cows are alive, spiders are alive, trees are alive, tumors are alive. Being "life" means nothing, it's whether or not you are sentient, and a tumor growing in your body with the barest minimum (or none at all depending on it's stage of development) of brain activity isn't. If you'd actaully care to look at an evidence of when it becomes sentinet it would be well after birth, but legally it's much easier to just set it as birth.

It isn't "saving" a life if you do nothing for it after it's born. Women get abortons for a number of reasons and it's never a decision taken lightly. A poor household or young mother is unlikely to adequately raise a child. And forcing them to bear children (A violation of their basic human rights to have control over their own bodies) when you're against any form of financial help to raise the child (including if it were to be given up to foster care or adoption), and any form of birth control to help prevent unwanted children, is hypocrisy at it's finest. And adoption is not the answer either. There are far more unwanted children than there are people willing to adopt, most get left out in the cold (figuratively speaking for those of you too dumb to get metaphors). And our foster system is an underfunded overstraigned nightmare for most children.

The premise of this movie is an abortion of any form of intelligent thought or reason. An appeal to emotion (namely fear and disgust) to take away the rights of others

First off Im always on the look out for the bizarre, disturbing and most controversial films I can find. I dont think I can top this one. And oddly enough it stars the late Robert Loggia! Well kinda. He is advertised in the film but it all footage from another film.

The film is called Cries of the Unborn which is a semi sequel to The Life Zone. The film makes zero sense in contrast to the first film and leaves many errors in the film as it stands. The Film has a 1.3 on IMDB as of now. Anything above a 1 is too high. So what makes this film so messed up? The film is about a group of people who kidnapped a young woman who was going to have an abortion. Now on trail the group has admitted their crime. Why this is a trial after the confession I do not know. The jury on the trial talks the case out and watches footage from the kidnapping (made up of footage from The Life Zone). Also they mentally toured her and inspected her area. and debate if the kidnappers should be set free. Here is where it gets twisted. Regardless on your feelings on abortion this film makes a deliberate statement and message that kidnapping a person is alright in this circumstance. They also try to justify what they did. Again they abducted a woman for 7 months and mentally tortured her. And this film actually takes the side of the abductors! Cries of the Unborn: The film that says kidnapping is perfectly fine in certain circumstances.

This is one the craziest most damaging films imaginable. Im ranking this as the second worst film I have ever seen.

I wanted to vomit throughout most of this movie. Thankfully, the justice system, although faulty, doesn't operate on false sciences and skewed beliefs. I am actively religious and this movie was sickening. There were no valid point or excuses made and the fact that they added the whole kidnapping/legal scenario was honestly scary, in that they were trying to validate what the "culprits" even did to the main character in question. Weird and pointless. No self respecting network should carry this mess!
