The Life Zone

It is a moral argument. Anyone associated with this production should be embarrassed. This opinion is not based on my position regarding the moral questions addressed. It is a warning to anyone who might think what is being offered is entertainment. The 1.9 rating on this site speaks for itself.

I see all these peeps complaining, they say there pro choice but what about the unborn baby choice, its isnt right to starve or vaccum or tear limb from limb or stab a needle that vauses cardiac arrest. Fetuses early as 7 weeks already have little nubs forming ect. I will be praying for these pro abortsin the review section. This movie is awesome im a screenwriter and this isthe kind of horror i like.

Oh my jesus forgiveus our sins save us from the fires of hell especially those in most need of thy mercy.

Also tothe pro aborts if you dont like the movie dont watch it. Also life is short eternity is forever.

Wow... that's all I have to say. Wow... OK I have more to say. The blonde girl was HORRIBLE! Some parts I thought, oh maybe she isn't that bad, but n the end I give her 2/5 stars on an acting scale. It is true what others have said about this movie. It is just an anti-abortion movie. I did give it three stars though. And the three reasons why... 1)Decent story line. Would make a cute book for young adults who are extremely religious. 2)I liked Staci(Lindsey Haun). Good acting, liked her characters personality. =) 3)Unexpected ending. Stupid, and kind of annoying, but very unexpected.

All in all, this movie was kind of bad. Wont watch it again, or recommend.

First off, we should make clear that this is not a horror film. There are no elements of horror excepting the underlying execution of the message in itself.

I must make clear that I am actually a conservative, and this film did the great task of making both sides of the argument of abortion look terrible. Regardless of what ideals you yourself might hold, the film makes a jest of the topic and presents a poor argument even of the side it is obviously on.

However, to truly understand this story, I think it necessary to understand Ken Del Vecchio. Ken Del Vecchio, the writer and one of the wonderfully talented actors (sarcasm), actually has origins in the law field. His first film, coming from this background, is about a hotshot defense lawyer that no woman can resist. If that does not spell out for you what kind of talent Kenneth Del Vecchio has, it might also help to know that nearly all, if not every film written by Ken Del Vecchio contains one lawyer character. This is because Ol' Kenneth is unable to see any world views apart from that of a lawyer. And even that view is so twisted as to strip away any wonder as to why he felt the need to leave the profession.

Somehow, though, Kenneth believes that he has a great background from which he can argue women's choices and place in the world. This belief most likely stems from the fact that Ken Del Vecchio is actually a full-fledged misogynist who believes he actually has a first-hand understanding of women. It obviously stems from his law days when women were throwing themselves at him (sarcasm, of course). He must have spent hours in bed with women, engaged in passionate conversation about the very sensual topic of abortion. This has afforded him the ability to know what womens' rights (which according to Ken, appear out of thin air) are and even what justice awaits them in the after-life (knowing the inner machinations of Christian Justice as intimately as the women he has frequented as a humble lawman).

Before this review gets too long, suffice to say that even if the rating isn't enough of an indicator, know that regardless of whether you're pro-life or pro-choice, this is nothing but forcefully offensive drivel. But then again, which of Kenneth's films can be said not to be?

If you don't like abortion or fancy words like "relevance", but you do like the voices in your head, this is your movie. The Life Zone is story of three women: a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead. No, I'm not kidding. Regardless of the feelings of their fetuses or God (lord knows no one needs more protection than an omniscient and omnipotent being) they have decided to have an abortion -- or did they? Not if Robert Loggia and a doctor/failed baby machine have anything to do with it! Together, they kidnapped the three women, and threaten to kill them if they self-abort. And yes, they are the good guys. The story is so thin and feebly told that to pad the run time, the prison scenes alternate with cutaways to anti-abortion propaganda; for example, alleged man on the street interviews that are performed by the cast and crew. I have no idea why Robert "Scarface" Loggia is in this film, but I like to think that he himself was kidnapped and was forced to read his lines. He never actually interacts with the other actors, so this is a real possibility. Blanche Baker, the actress who plays the doctor, had a major role in -- wait for it -- The Handmaid's Tale (1990). It's true. Look it up.
