Films by Del Vecchio

The Life Zone

The Life Zone, starring Robert Loggia, Lindsay Haun, Angela Little, Martin Kove, Blanche Baker, and Nina Transfeld, tells the story of three women who have been kidnapped while they were getting abortions. They are forced by a mysterious jailer, played by Loggia, to bring their pregnancies to term, accompanied by a female doctor who also blames them because of their intentions to abort. While they wait to do so, they are given reading material and movies to watch about abortion and related issues, including material produced by Del Vecchio. Eventually, one of the women decide to give birth willingly, the other relutanctly decides to do so as well, and the third tries to force a miscarriage. Then it is revealed that the doctor and one of the pregnant women (the fiercest abortion advocate) are in Hell (the first for committing suicide and the second died during her abortion) and the man is supposed to be the devil and the other two are imaginary or fallen angels in desguise (who suddenly disappear). Other proposed explanation is that all three were in purgatory, and that the two who decided to give birth will go to Heaven while the third goes to Hell, to be subject to eternally repeated pregnancy and child birth.[2] The film also stars Amanda Antonucci, Blanche Baker and Rebecca Baron.
