Masters Of Horror - Series 2 Episode 7

The Screwfly Solution
Dir: Joe Dante

A mother and daughter flee across America when a virus turns the entire male population into murderous psychopaths.
Despite a good story this is yet another poor episode that suffers from a lack of coherent direction. There are some decent ideas and it starts strongly but before long the story starts to jump ahead of itself and probably due to a lack of time it feels really rushed in the last third. A good cast is wasted and despite some gory deaths it's more of a sci-fi than a horror. The random introduction of an alien plot doesn't help much either.
