Spoiler-Free Judgement Zone
A eclipse-fueled, deranged, pseudo-feminist, anti-man murder spree. How could you go wrong with that? First, by alienating all the male viewers, and then by alienating all the women viewers.
Synopsis
A woman stabs someone excessively and is soon covered in blood. Afterward, she has ice cream. Credits roll.
A woman whines to her husband about not spending enough time together after 23 years. He always has something to do. He promises to work on that problem, but this weekend, he has an important softball game.
A guy wants to do something for his friend’s birthday. She wants to go to Disney. He wants some kind of Amish road trip.
A girl talks to her husband, but she’s drunk and has all sorts of problems. He has cancer, and she’s weak. This time, it’s good news.
Another couple argue. She wants to buy thousands of dollars of clothes every day, and he has issues with that. His ex-wife comes in demanding alimony.
Three women sit on a couch and talk about how the moon affects their periods. This is some kind of vague support group. Another woman comes in and starts talking about how she was abused. One of the women fantasizes about strangling the delivery man.
A girl who accidentally got pregnant goes home to her sister. The sister has fantasized about killing her Uber driver.
The strangle-fantasizer talks about an upcoming eclipse and the effect it’ll have on people. “Strange things happen, and they’re about to get stranger.” We have more discussion about the moon and the menstrual cycle.
Suddenly, all these women think they are pregnant, but most of them haven’t had sex in years. As time progresses, and the eclipse takes over, all these women get more and more violent, first in fantasies, then in the real world.
Commentary
If you’re not gay, and wondered why so many men are, watch this film, it’ll clear up the confusion.
The production values are quite good, the acting is decent for a film of this budget, but the story just has too many characters. There are a lot of characters, none of whom have names except for one guy named Rick. Instead of ten women (most of whom are coupled with men), it would have been much more bearable with four.
There’s a little bit of well-done gore toward the end, but considering the story, not as much as you might expect.
Still, I have to wonder who the intended audience is for this film. I can’t picture most male horror fans sitting through all the menstruation talk and shrill nagging of the first hour. I guess you could argue that it’s a feminist film, but I can’t imagine any woman identifying with any of these characters; none of them are sympathetic in any way. So, if I rule out all the men, and then I rule out all the women… Well, my cat didn’t hate it, but she slept through most of it.
Still, if you want to see a bunch of deranged women kill a bunch of guys, give it a shot.
