Season Two of Masters of Horror was
strong. Not really a bad episode in the bunch and as they roll out
onto DVD we all find ourselves making repeat trips to our favorite
retailer to pick these gems up. Tonight I got the lowdown on Rob
Schmidt's endevour titled Right To Die. Read on for the complete
press release and specs:
Watching a loved one physically
suffer can be torture, with the survivors experiencing greater agony
than those fighting death. But what happens when the patient finds
their care lacking – even if they are burned beyond recognition?
Only the Masters of Horror dare to take a stand! From
the twisted mind of director Rob Schmidt (Wrong Turn) comes
“Right to Die,” the latest installment from the Emmy®-award
winning horror anthology. With a stellar cast including Martin
Donovan (“Weeds,” Insomnia), Corbin Bernsen (“Psych,”
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang), Robin Sydney (The Lost) and
Julia Anderson (“The Dead Zone”) and grafted with a healthy dose
of bonus materials, “Right to Die” promises a hospital visit
unlike any other!
Written
by John Esposito (Graveyard Shift, Tale of the Mummy), “Right
to Die” stars Martin Donovan as Cliff Addison, a man harboring a
guilty secret from his wife Abby (Julia Anderson) – he is
committing adultery. However, when a car accident on a lonely country
road results in Julia horribly burned over most of her body, Cliff
must now carry the burden of helplessly watching over his comatose
wife – barely living, but legally and medically alive. Conflicted,
Cliff is determined to get a court order to cease her pain. Her
condition worsening, she repeatedly flat-lines and is revived.
But
each time she clinically “dies,” her apparition seeks vengeance
on those who stand to profit from her suffering, including a slick
attorney (Corbin Bernsen). Pricked by his conscience, Cliff now
searches for a suitable skin donor to save Abby. As the clock ticks
off precious minutes, a race begins – with souls as well as lives
hanging in the balance…
