Yeah...


Usually I can find something redeeming in a horrible movie that takes it from bad to at least "eh," so I don't feel that I completely wasted my time. Either a few funny moments, an unintended scene that makes you think, maybe some gorgeous scenery that makes you want to visit wherever the movie was filmed. While the exploding pumpkin scene did make me laugh & a few of the Hellions' costumes were creepy enough that I would feel the need to toss salt on a child if they showed up at my door dressed like that on Halloween, it just wasn't enough. An hour & a half badly done anti-abortion movie that punishes the woman, regardless of her choices, sending no real message just isn't redeemable in any way. This was such a complete mess that I'm not sure that even the people who made the movie know what message they were trying to send.

Lol, I didn't really see the "anti-abortion" concept, but it was a crap movie. The ending made absolutely no sense.

I may have read too much into it, giving the writers too much credit, but it seemed to me that the hellions showed up because the girl got pregnant & wasn't sure if she wanted to keep the baby. They kept telling her they wanted the baby, implying that she didn't & that's why she was being punished. Yet, she seemed to be trying to protect the baby throughout the movie. None of it made any sense lol

Yeah, but Mike talks about how the same thing happened to his wife Sherry, and they wanted the baby, obviously.
I'm sorry, but pro-life film? I'm not seein' it. She never even mentioned the word "abortion" and neither did the doctor.
What is more questionable to me is whether Mike was ever "really" there in the first place, or if he was just one of them. His voice changes while he tells of his wife, and then he says, "Dora. Can you hear me?" As that weird voice said to her earlier.

I didnt see anti abortion or pro abortion concepts, i didnt see crap either. I liked it for a Halloween movie.
