As early as the mid-2000s, Caron Carpenter directed two episodes of the Masters of Horror. The celebrated Anthology series gave the horror a very creative path of well -known author devices in the world of horror, so every episode was, in essence, a full feature film for itself. Carpenter's first episode, "Cigarette Burns", was a clever riff His his own 1995 film "In the mouth of Madness". The episode at the center of the Twisted Film collector (UDO Kier) that gives a private investigator (Norman Rids) to find an ultra-ret film print. The film says there is a real de-crilled angel, which will cause the person to see him mentally deteriorating. As a whole, "Cigarette Burns" is pretty good, they get details of film archiving, and even there is a scene of a man who feeds his intestine (!) In a film projector.

Unfortunately, Carpenter followed that episode with another under the title "Pro-Life", iousubopitic riff from 2006 to "Rosemary Baby", but with a trimmer horror and mixed policy. The room is promising: what if a young woman who was pregnant with a demonic baby, checked in an abortion clinic? And what if her father (a violent crusader against abortion) was trying to break the way into the building to prevent her from aborting the demon? Political opportunities are endless, and someone would think that some interesting conversations could be encouraged by such setting. Unfortunately, the screenwriters (Drew Mcchini and Rebecca Swan) did not write in those conversations. Carpenter and his writers were instructed not to allow their film to talk too much or were too focused on crippling to allow something of the substance to be said.

"Pro-life" is not very well remembered by fans of the Masters of Horror and remains a footnote in Carpenter's film. It was the second to last film he once directed before "The Ward" in 2010. Since then, Carpenter has been playing for video games, composing movie scoresand performing his music in a series of successful tours.

Since we have all seen Roman Polanski's classic in 1968 "Rosemary Baby", we are already a kind of endemic familiar with the "pro-life" premise. The young Angelik (Caitlin Wax) checks at an abortion clinic, wanting to stop her demonic pregnancy. She explains that she was attacked by a demon and wants to make sure his offspring do not survive. (The audience should not have a problem rolling with the idea that a young woman can be impregnated by a demon.) Meanwhile, her father Dwayne (incredible fame Ron Perlman from the fame "Helboy" and "Anarchy sons) is out of the clinic with some pleasant friends, claiming that he has received a vision of God about pregnancy. Specifically, he insists that he was ordered by the divine to protect his unborn grandchild at all costs and is ready to shoot with weapons to achieve his goal.

What follows, however, is a characteristic of a low budget creature. Angelik gives birth to the baby and, is, it's really a demon. The father of the baby's demon then rises from the ground and begins to kill the hospital staff, hoping to gather his child. (The demon is played by Derek Mers, who also showed Jason Vorihes in 2009 "Friday the 13th.

The message is obviously that abortion rights need to be supported because it may be the last line of defense against the infiltration of the demons. Also, those who claim to receive messages against abortion from God are actually ousted by demons who want the views of pro-life in the world. Everyone is joking aside, the episode may sound didactic as described, but it is blurred by all the silly action and effects of the monster. Indeed, every policy has been exposed by the very view of the funny demonic baby.

While the episode received several positive reviews (Like the one on the web site for a frightened hard), few people seem to love the "pro-life" and only hardcore carpenters probably even watched it nowadays. The Masters of Horror itself is available for streaming services like Roko, Hopa and Pluto TV, so check the episode there and see what you think.
