Screwfly Solution, The (2006)

*** (out of 4)

Joe Dante's second in the Masters of Horror series takes a rather unique story and does wonders with it. Throughout the world a virus is infecting men turning them into psychopaths that begin killing women. Thousands are being murdered each hour but two scientists (Jason Priestly/Elliott Gould) can't figure out what's the cause. The horror genre has always been attacked by women's groups due to the violence towards women and director Dante looks at this as well as various other issues in regards to violence towards women. The idea of the story leads to several other political issues that the director likes to throw in but they all work well. When the secret of the virus is finally revealed it isn't the greatest twist in the world but it works.
