Review of Fortress (1992) by Rory M — 21 May 2008
This is a futuristic sci-fi movie that I watched by accident. Apparently, Americans are only allowed one child each. Since this couple's first child dies, she gets pregnant again and goes to Mexico to escape the authorities. They get caught and get sent to a high tech prison.
The two most vivid scenes I remember from this movie are of him getting something shot down his throat called an "intestinator". They are able to control him by sending signals to this device which causes terrible pain in his gut. The scene where he pulls it out was horrifying.
The other scene is where is wife is due to give birth. For some reason, they have a circular saw and they are going cut open her pregnant belly with it. They give her no anesthesia and plan to let her die afterwards. Thankfully, she gets rescued at the last minute. Ugh. Not my type of movie.
