What does every wildly creepy pro-life goblin fantasize about doing to every pregnant teenage girl seeking an abortion? Kidnap and imprison her until she gives birth while terrorizing her with under-lit video conference lectures? Yeah, that. And behold: the world’s first “pro-life horror movie.” The film premiered this weekend at the Hoboken International Film Festival. Watch and cringe:

BREED, FEMALE UNIT. PRODUCE MORE LARVAE!
Needs more Gabriel Santorum.
Blowing his horn.
"Justice for All Productions?" It's nice to see Metallica is keeping themselves busy these days.
O/T
According to the NY Times right now, the "Weiner press conference" is actually a Breitbart press conference.
So, yes, it is a "Weiner press conference," but just the really tiny, self-consciously inadequate kind.
(This was too mean to use only once, in the last post. Thank you for my support.)
Did Breitbart serve mustard or ketchup with his weiner?
He's not from Chicago, so he probably slathered it w/ ketchup. Or santorum.
And did he serve it Riley?
With tongue in, uh, cheek.
Did Breitbart get his weiner at Gold Coast Dogs?
Hot Doug's.
I think I just saw Stuef standing there. Jack lives!
Jon Stewart doesn't know (Weiner's) dick, apparently.
Well that stunt really bolsters Breitbart's perception that he wouldn't commandeer someone else's identity to score a political point, doesn't it?
[snark off]
The really unfortunate thing about this is that it rebuilds Breitbart's credibility. Thank you, A. Weiner, for undermining S. Sherrod. Gah.
[snark on]
Bah — I knew a lying, theiving junkie for a while, and when he was right, as he was every so often, the only person who thought it bolstered his credibility was him.
Broken clock, twice a day, etc..
"Hoboken International Film Festival"
Hoboken, soon to replace Cannes as the worlds foremost film festival.
Winner of the palm d'odor
runner-up gets the Palm d'Toxie
It kind of reminds me of the Columbus International Airport because of the one 19-seat plane that flies to Toronto every so often.
As much as I like Robert Loggia, I think Rick Santorum should have gotten that role.
The nurse woman does have a Michele Bachmann thing going on, what with the crazy eyes…
You might have a tough time getting preggers without a weiner.
Because the best way to celebrate the miracle of life is to make pregnancy a prison sentence.
Sperm goes in, baby comes out. Who can explain it?
*gulp*
What da penis there for? What da vagina there for?
It may be too subtle for its audience.
…and they all induce miscarriages. The End.
I can't help but notice that all these wimens is purty and white.
Also too; kidnapping is a crime, abortion is not.
Time for a Robert Loggia vhs tape burning. Is he slumming or does he really believe that women should be forced to birth babies they don't: want, can't care for & feed, got date raped & impregnated, and let's just go back to they don't WANT a baby at this particular time in their life?
So many questions, and too many crazy Christian zealots forcing their religious beliefs into personal medical decisions. Fuck 'em, I'm sick of them.
I'm sure Loggia's probably Catholic, Del Vecchio too. (smacks self on hand for blatant stereotyping)
I look forward to the next production featuring Robert Loggia currently in the works, Caesarean Scarface.
so is this like the mel gibson movie I didn't see, but for abortion? what is next? a movie depicting how slavery was good and welfare is slavery, only bad?
So you're admitting you haven't seen The Beaver?
Official teabagger double feature:
Atlas Shrugged/The Life Zone.
Oh for fuck's sake. Gah. And according to the article, the "twist" at the end is that the women were actually in purgatory after dying during botched abortions – which really seems like this should make it a pro-choice movie, since the only reason women die getting abortions is because evil women-hating fucksticks like the people whop made this movie had prevailed and made abortion illegal back in the day, driving women to go to back-alley butchers, and today have placed many restrictions to make abortion practically illegal for poor women and driving them back to butchers.
This isn't a horror movie, this is a fantasy for the forced birth movement. They want women to die, period; this is why using their euphemism of "pro-life" is wrong, because they support death of actual, living people, because they have vaginas and used them.
"I see dead people!"
I'm once again stupefied by these people. They usually shout from the mountaintops about Small Government and getting Big Bro out of our business, then try crawling into our vaginas with a fuckin' flashlight and magnifying glass looking for that precious, precious fetus.
…I just really creeped myself out, but still.
It's because they are masters of newspeak, and only oppose "Big Government" when it comes to taxes, helping the wrong sort of people and stopping corporations from fucking over the rest of us; when it comes to actual personal liberty though, except regarding guns, they're against it.
The women will be baked, and then there will be cake.
And the winner of this year's Razzie is…
With this, Atlas Shrugged and The Triumph of Sarah Palin's Will the wingnuts are giving the Razzie more material than they can deal with.
"All About Steve" would not have even received a nomination if it had released this year.
Reading the synopsis on NJ.com, that movie is a bit confused. Apparently this pro-life film's doctor, who forces the three pregnant women to give birth, is the devil. But if he makes the characters pro-life, then I guess the end justifies the means, which is the premise of Christianity, right?
I think the doctor is really the smoke monster or something.
The movie reflects the same muddled thinking of the makers. And apparently of Robert Loggia. Seriously, WTF? he sounded like he didn't know he made the move even.
"Wait, I've got an idea! You know those things we use to hang our coats…"
Makes me think about all the great hit films that had their premiere at the Hoboken International Film Festival over the years…
Winner of the prestigious Golden Coat Hanger awarded by zombie Jerry Falwell.
Best pro-choice movie trailer I've ever seen.
Wow, I didn't think Human Centipede II was out in the US yet….
So, according to the article, the woman who tries to miscarry is doomed to a hell of endless pregnancy and childbirth. Or life as that Duggar woman on TLC.
It ends with them all being killed in an attack by killer tomatoes.
'It Came From The Space Between Their Legs'
WIN!!
Ah, Downfisty is a fetus.
downfisty has been aborted by the wonketteery;.
I'm confused, is this supposed to be a nightmare or a wet dream for the anti-abortion folks?
Both? Like everything else, it probably depends on who you ask.
They don't call it "torture porn" for nothing.
Rick Santorum gives it two thumbs up.
As someone who is currently expecting, let me just point out that the fact that I am pro-choice is the only thing keeping this fetus in line.
Too much dialogue…
If it were really a pro-life horror film, then the black chick's baby would still have to die.
What black chick?
There wouldn't be a movie because they'd all die after having sex —dirty sluts. However, the pro-life movie makers would still fail to see the irony.
You can't exploit them until they get born, duh!
Alternate title:
'Invasion of the Baby Snatchers'
Meh, couldn't make it halfway through even with the sound off.
Even so, I could basically guess the plot – oh noes, a bunch of white girls come to and regret the decision they just made because we (a bunch of rich white men) can't imagine them NOT regretting the decision, since we can't have babies and can't ever face that decision. Save them from themselves!
Isn't this whole "we have to protect them from themselves because they don't know better and aren't capable of making decisions about their lives in their own best interests without later regretting it" spiel one of the arguments that was used to perpetuate slavery for so long?
In response to your last question: yes.
Robert Loggia in The Life Zone is this generation's Bela Lugosi in Plan 9 From Outer Space.
WWEWD?
What would Ed Wood do?
Unless the babies eat their way out, this is not a real horror movie.
Well, that last Twilight movie is coming soon…
So, you've seen the Bristol Palin birth video?
This looks like a great ad to run Against the Anti-Choicers and the repubs who do their bidding? Vote for them and this is what they will do to you.. You might never see another R in office again!
Do they have any subliminal murals?
you're tearing me apart, Jesus!
Well I get the reference. Oh hi doggy!
I once knew a libertarian who had a non – ironic poster of a baby with the phrase "We're all born equal. After that, you're on your own, baby." How the newborn was supposed to come up with food and rent, not to mention getting an education of any kind, while on his or her own was never explained of course…
Except that we're not all born equal. That's the biggest delusion of all.
A message funded by the herited Kochs.
And that baby's name was . . . Matt Drudge!!
Aren't all horror movies "Pro-life"?
Well most classic slasher movies implied that any woman who has sex deserves to be killed by the monster (and in the early Friday the 13th movies that was explicit), which puts them squarely in line with the values of the "pro-life" movement.
I meant "pro-life" as in "I do not want to die".
eh. this one was likely a better movie for about the same amount of low budget goodness (and it's Cronenberg):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brood
What were those bushy eyebrows saying?
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??!!!
Where can I make fun of Harold Camping some more?
Shouldn't they also be forced to get married? That'd really be purgatory.
Of course, then it would be "The Wife Zone"
wooden acting.
heavy handed script.
cliched concept.
horrific execution.
ladies and gentlemen, i give you the republican party 2011.
Fuck this! It is not a true horror film unless one of the girls breaks a heel while running.
I would totally go to the hadouken film festival.
Big Government needs to reach inside your pants, push aside your underwear, sluice through your vagina, and push past the cervix to make a penetrating analysis of your morality.
Just change the twist at the ending to all the women are actually dead pro-life men in purgatory and this wld make a pretty good pro-choice movie.
This makes me feel pukey, but that's at least partly attributable to a mild hangover. That it exists is an atrocity, but slightly redeemed by the appearance that they're doing a horrible job of making the attempted point.
"Your babies will be given life, just as God planned when he made your drunk boyfriend put his rubber on wrong so he came inside you after fingering you all through "Transformers 2"."
And if the set and props are to be believed, the "Life Zone" is also "The Nurse's Office in a Catholic School."
Occasionally even a blind squirrel finds a nut.
Especially apt in this context!
