Nice effects though.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The Life Zone is a confusing movie. It's not that the plot was hard to follow or anything but it mistakenly paints It's own side as the bad guys. Talk about a bold move, or it would be if the creators had any kind of self-awareness. It's almost as if the makers of this movie just wanted to throw as many pro-life and anti-abortion propaganda and didn't care about anything else. It's okay though, most Christians don't care about the plot of the movie, the acting, directing or anything else so long as the message is one they like. The plot is rather thin. Three women, all pregnant and wanting an abortion. It's simple enough but things get complicated when they pass out and awaken in a hospital with nobody there except a creepy doctor who is trying to force them to give birth. This is important so keep it in mind for later.He forces them to watch propaganda movies of abortions while drinking warm milk. Is this supposed to be a message to the audience. Is it an attempt at symbolism? Who knows. It does work on two of the women and they decide to keep their babies The third one still wants her abortion. The twist is that the other two women weren't really there and the one wanting the abortion already died on the operating table. And the doctor, seemingly distraught over this commits suicide. She then realizes that she and the doctor are now in hell. End credits.The fact that the women are literally being forced to give birth shows that the makers of this movie don't understand why this is a bad thing. Remember free will? Christians always say that it's up to us to make the decisions. Sure a case could be made that she already made her decision and this is her punishment but it really doesn't feel that way. It feels more like a way to insert a hamfisted message that abortions are bad period.

I could not agree more with everyone who has posted so far. I as well fell into the trap of thinking it was a horror flick(because they are the best!). This sadly was not in the least bit classified as a horror film. I as well am a conservative, and I was stunned at the propaganda that they threw out. It seems as if they are possibly trying to make a political statement as either pro-life of pro-choice, but it doesn't seem to help either side. It's offensive to both political stances and makes you feel a little uncomfortable and confused on what's going on. It says on the back of the movie there is a twist..... yeah freaking right, the movie ends horribly. To end if there is any part of this film that describes any horror its the screenplay, plot, and acting. If there was any possible way to give this movie a negative it would be my vote!

As vile as Hitler's propaganda films before and during WW II, they weren't as vile as this disgusting piece of crap !!This is nothing but an anti-abortion rant. And, yes, I said "anti-abortion", NOT pro-life...the anti-abortionists have no problem with a woman who decides to terminate an unwanted pregnancy dies while having an illegal procedure done in less than medical conditions, and that doesn't qualify as "pro-life"...but, I digress; the point here is that this an unbelievably vile propaganda polemic that is so badly conceived ( no pun intended ), horribly directed, ridiculously written, and talentlessly acted, that no-one who has any idea of respect for themselves or their time should waste even one second of that time on this horrible, disgusting, cesspool of a movie.

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.
