Horror master John Carpenter contributed one of the best entries to the first "Masters of Horror" season with "Cigarette Burns" (Season 1, Episode 8), but he sadly didn't keep the high quality Horror up with this fifth episode of the 2nd season, "Pro-Life". "Pro-Life" certainly has its qualities, as it's pretty disturbing at times and furthermore stars none other than Ron Perlman, who is always an enrichment to the films he stars in. The episode also has its faults, however. Strangely, all MoH episodes that have a somewhat political theme or subplot seem to be lacking in many departments and "Pro-Life" is no exception to that. While the episode is brutal, disturbing and occasionally also quite creepy I couldn't say it was genuinely scary. A religious fanatic (Perlman) attempts to 'rescue' his pregnant teenage daughter from an abortion clinic, and is determined to use any violence necessary to do so. His daughter however, has some very particular reasons for wanting to abort... While "Pro-Life" is not one of the very good episodes of the series, it certainly isn't one of the bad ones either. Ron Perlman is great as always in the role of the religious fanatic, and his performance alone saves this episode from mediocrity. The daughter, played by Caitlyn Wachs, is the only lovable character in the episode. The problem about the episode is that, other than the innocent daughter, there is really no character one would care about. Actually, I almost wanted everybody else to die. Like "Cigarette Burns" this is again one of the most violent entries to the series. One scene, in which abortion devices are 'misused' is especially nauseating. Overall, "Pro-Life" is not breathtaking, but a worthwhile episode for MoH fans.
