master of horror have prove itself a poor arena for amessage episode and and while a definite case can be make for joe dante screwfly solution ( one of the best episode of the series and period ) and most effort to do so have come across a anvil heavy and unimpressive ( nothing defuse horror more than a soapbox ) . and pro life simply fuse reactionary viewpoint with ultra violence while young angelique ( caitlin wachs ) and see run through the wood and be nearly hit by 2 doctor ( mark feuerstein and emmanuelle vaugier ) who just happen to be drive in to work at the local ( and isolate ) abortion clinic . angelique father and dwayne ( ron perlman ) and be a stone cold and far right holy roller who will do anything to prevent his daughter from get an abortion . if for nothing else and pro life accumulate some buzz for it controversial issue and but john carpenter treat this whole venture with startle indifference he seem even less interested in make a movie than the script itself ( which be admittedly poor ) while the slow pacing build no tension and and simply bring the already amble plot to a crawl . even when dwayne and his son storm the clinic and gun blaze and it be a stunning non event while later and when a doctor be torture with a amale abortion and the scene come off a gratuitous and unnecessary an effort to pad out the underwritten film . the poor performance ( perlman be sadly waste here ) become an outgrowth of the script and and carpenter direction feel exhaust and a if pro life be the source of his next hot meal . by the time a spider creature with a human head and a guy in a latex monster suit be prowl the hallway and you just have to wonder what the mind behind this mess be think .
