Masters of Horror: Pick Me Up (2006)
Episode 11, Season 1
Good idea ruined by misogyny and gratuitous violence

I found this episode to be deeply unpleasant and somewhat mean-spirited. All the women are portrayed as weak, dumb, or annoying. The only independent-minded woman is eventually reduced to just another screaming damsel in distress. This seems to be the "in thing" these days. I really hate this trend of showing naked women being tortured. It does nothing to move the story forward and seems like it's meant only to appeal to sexual sadists. To be honest I can't believe this even aired on television. I guess people have become so desensitized that sexually sadistic violence is just considered entertainment. The two stars are for Michael Moriarty who gives an excellent performance in an otherwise trashy waste of 55 minutes.
