The Life Zone

I could not agree more with everyone who has posted so far. I as well fell into the trap of thinking it was a horror flick(because they are the best!). This sadly was not in the least bit classified as a horror film. I as well am a conservative, and I was stunned at the propaganda that they threw out. It seems as if they are possibly trying to make a political statement as either pro-life of pro-choice, but it doesn't seem to help either side. It's offensive to both political stances and makes you feel a little uncomfortable and confused on what's going on. It says on the back of the movie there is a twist..... yeah freaking right, the movie ends horribly. To end if there is any part of this film that describes any horror its the screenplay, plot, and acting. If there was any possible way to give this movie a negative it would be my vote!

This movie does pro-lifers no favors. This is horrifically shallow and badly written. I have a hard time believing the writer of this script has ever even met a female much less a pregnant female trying to make a very difficult decision. The same old,badly composed circular argument is on repeat with very empty, shallow characters. The acting is horrible, but you can only judge them on what they are given. It isn't like they had the best material to work with as the ridiculous, shallow premise has the depth and reach of a stale cracker. The best scene is when the writer of this film is eating deviled eggs. No, I'm not joking.

Congratulations, you've replaced Rollergator as the worst movie I've ever seen.

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?

As vile as Hitler's propaganda films before and during WW II, they weren't as vile as this disgusting piece of crap !!

This is nothing but an anti-abortion rant. And, yes, I said "anti-abortion", NOT pro-life...the anti-abortionists have no problem with a woman who decides to terminate an unwanted pregnancy dies while having an illegal procedure done in less than medical conditions, and that doesn't qualify as "pro-life"...but, I digress; the point here is that this an unbelievably vile propaganda polemic that is so badly conceived ( no pun intended ), horribly directed, ridiculously written, and talentlessly acted, that no-one who has any idea of respect for themselves or their time should waste even one second of that time on this horrible, disgusting, cesspool of a movie.

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.
