Masters of Horror - Right to Die DVD ~ Martin Donovan (II)
| |  Decent at best episode of MOH, March 9, 2008 Rob Schmidt is far from being a Master of Horror, but the Wrong Turn director manages to turn in a decent enough Masters of Horror episode with Right to Die. Martin Donovan (The Quiet, Insomnia) stars as a cheating dentist, whose wife (Julia Anderson) is involved in a catastrophic car crash that leaves her with severe burns and in a coma. While he insists on the plug being pulled, her mother fights to keep her alive, which results in the wife's spirit taking vengeance on whoever she can get her hands on. Despite the leaps in logic and cavalcade of plot holes, Right to Die is a pretty decent episode of the horror anthology series, most notably thanks to Martin Donovan's manic performance and the superb gore effects work from KNB. Other than that though, there really isn't anything much else to admire about Right to Die. Considering the storyline, you'd figure that writer John Esposito would easily go for the political satire route, buthe doesn't, which leaves Right to Die kind of empty. Flaws aside though, Right to Die does manage to deliver the goods that horror fans look for, and in that respect alone, Right to Die works.
