The Second Season of the Masters of Horror series on Showtime combines top horror writers and directors together for a second year creating some incredible (and some not so incredible) one-hour features. Pro-Life shows that John Carpenter can take a mediocre script and create a great horror movie.

Original
air date: November 24, 2006
Directed by: John Carpenter
Written by: Drew McWeeny & Scott Swan
Starring:
Ron Perlman as Dwayne Burcell
Caitlin Wachs as Angelique Burcell
Mark Feuerstein as Alex
Emmanuelle Vaugier as Kim
Synopsis: Alex (Mark Feuerstein) and Kim
(Emmanuelle Vaugier) are medical personnel that work at a
women’s clinic. While driving to work they almost run into
Angelique (Caitlin Wachs) as she runs out of the woods into the middle
of the road. It seems that Angelique wants an abortion. Her father
Dwayne (Ron Perlman) is a militant pro-life advocate that wants his
daughter back. What nobody knows is that the father of the baby that
Angelique is carrying will do anything to protect it.
Thoughts: Have I ever told you that John Carpenter is one of my favorite directors? Pro-Life is another reason why. He does an excellent job with a mediocre script and turns it into a John Carpenter “joint”. I am also a fan of Ron Perlman and he is worth watching here to. The special effects are great and it is wonderful to see Cody Carpenter in the soundtrack department. As far as the subject matter goes, had Homecoming (Season 1, Episode 6) been done like this it would have probably been a better viewing experience. Whatever your views about the subject matter, if you like horror you will like Pro-Life. Questions or comments about Pro-Life? Contact us!
