Cries of the Unborn

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!

It's probably not Citizen Kane, but the pro aborts trashing the film force me to give it a good review. And some talk about free choice. What about the choice taken away from the baby?

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 movie is bad for two reasons. The first is it's simply a bad movie from start to finish. But the second reason is that it's a kinda remake of "The Life Zone". If you haven't seen "The Life Zone" then don't bother because it's equally bad. What this movie does is takes a slightly different approach to it and leaves out some of the elements including the weak twist ending.

Seven years ago three women were kidnapped from an abortion clinic and were forced to give birth. The people that did this finally admit their guilt and the whole thing goes to trial. It's revealed that two of the women that were kidnapped were actually in on the whole thing. In other words all of this, including keeping them hostage for seven months and forcing them to give birth was done for the sake of one woman and one woman only.

And yet throughout it all, this is painted as a good thing. These people did all this to ensure one baby was to be born and for this they feel they should be rewarded. They mentally tortured a woman for seven months and forced her to give birth. In what universe is this a good thing? Remember free will? Obviously the filmmakers don't.

This is just another anti-abortion propaganda movie that thinks it's more clever than it actually is.
