master of horror represent the screwfly solution start a america be be infect by an airborne virus that affect the male population and when arouse men indiscriminately kill any woman in sight apparently in the name of god . scientist alan ( jasn priestley ) be bring in by the government and know more than most and sense the situation may have go too far already so he tell his wife anne ( kerry norton ) to take their teenage daughter amy ( brenna obrien ) and try to survive a the future of the human race may depend on them . this canadian american co production be episode 7 from season 2 of the master of horrror tv series and direct by joe dante i think the screwfly solution be pretty bad . i personally think the script by sam hamm suck and it take itself far too seriously and i do not really understand why it part of the master of horror series and the horror that the filmmaker be go for in the screwfly solution be in the actual story itself and theme and idea it bring up rather than on screen visual horror particularly the tenuous ecological message it see intent on ram down our throat whenever it get the chance during it short 60 odd minute run time which i felt itself be a problem a the thing just finish out of what could easily be interpret a necessity rather than any meaningful attempt to wrap thing up . i wasn not happy with the inconsistency with the story either and if men only kill when sexually arouse why do the flight attendant casually break that woman neck on the plane . be he sexually arouse and i think not . why do every bloke then think he kill in the name of god . i just can not see every single bloke on earth suddenly know the bible and start to believe in god and i just find the notion ridiculous and the show also state clearly that there nothing religious about what go on so what the deal with everyone think they have a divine to murder any woman they see . then there the fact people get turn on by different thing and what about gay for instance . will they kill guy instead of woman . i know there a brief scene which make a joke out of the gay issue but it conveniently brush to one side and then there the thing which annoy me the most . the fact that presumably every bloke on earth have turn psycho and kill all the woman they go about their everyday business like nothing ever happen and it just felt so stupid and the plotting be rubbish and to round thing off there a end which look like it be take from a rejected episode of the x file ( 1993 2002 ) with a bright neon alien . director dante on this show definitely doesn not qualify a a master of horror a far a i be concern and the story be badly pace and it just so stupid consider it play deadly straight and instead of try to make a proper horror show he turn in more of a thriller with it deadly virus on the loose situation and the subsequent mother and daughter on the run because of it and there very little here in the way of what i would call effective horror and even less gore . there a scene when a woman be stab with a broken bottle and a brief scene after when a guy stab his own groin with say bottle and another woman be stab in the stomach but nothing else to write home about . technically like the other episode it really good and it doesn not have the look of a cheap tv series and the special effect be great a usual and it well make . the acting be alright but no one really stand out . the screwfly solution be easily the bad master of horror episode i have see but bear in mind i haven not see all of them . yet . a a stand alone piece of entertainment it do nothing for me and a a show make by a so called master of horror it disappoint me even more .
