The Life Zone (2011)
Watch John Carpenter's Pro-Life instead.....
at least that is an actual horror movie, no preaching and Ron Pearlman is in it. I made the mistake of watching this on Netflix without looking it up ahead of time. Biggest mistake ever. While I understand with pro-lifer's stance, but respectfully disagree, this movie is the sort of crap you know the fundie extremists are showing to their daughters to scare the crap out of them.
The basic argument of abortion is murder aside, the part that real got me was the idea that Satan/Lucifer gets to run purgatory. I may be a pagan who's forgotten to bulk of her Catholic school lessons, but even I remember enough to call bull on that. Well that and the fact that an abortion is all it takes to get you locked in the middle ground.
This isn't a horror movie, its poorly written propaganda. No matter where you on the issue of abortion I think we can all agree people who make movies like this shouldn't even be allowed in the debate.
Alligator X (2010)
Redneck science gone wrong
Someone said to themselves lets clone a prehistoric marine reptile and make it look like a gator, because cloning Deinosuchus or Sarcosuchus would be too much work and/or complicated.
Pacing could have been better, same for the dialogue. The science is faulty, but isn't it always? Mad Scientist de jur creates the titular beastie and has two drug making swamp bums as his lackeys(you know I wouldn't trust something like this to two guys who diet consists of moonshine and meth), someone has to do the heavy lifting after all.
Overall your average very bad B monster movie that really is better as background noise or a way to kill time. If you're a fan of SyFy brand movies this is for you.
