This is a script that really could happen but to say it was a real horror story that goes a bit too far for me. The story itself and the acting was okay but for an entry into Masters Of Horror it lacked on horror. This episode opens with telling about an experiment were a disease was ended by turning flies into non active breeders. By doing so the disease was ended. Further into the story we move towards humanity were the females have to be killed to stop breeding. The males are out for a kill but one girl do survive dressed as a guy and it's up to her to survive. In that particular part we do have more of suspense then horror and towards the end it turns into some science-fiction story looking more like an episode for The X-Files in stead of Masters Of Horrors. But why it is shown here comes due the sometimes graphic violence toward women. But for me it just didn't work. Some will have problems with the fact about killing women and entering some messages about belief in a God and so on but the ending...what a turn-off.Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

This is perhaps the best medium budget horror I've seen. Every part is excellent with no part letting down the whole. The writing is good bordering on great, it's got solid science behind it and that makes it scary. In the original short story, which I read some years back, the scientist was the main point of view character whereas in this case it's his wife but that arrangement is actually more suited to the audiovisual medium where it's harder to represent the internal dialogue that made the written version so effective. It also allows the story to be expanded in ways that would have been impractical in the written version.The pacing and direction are good and.. who is this Kerry Norton woman and why haven't we seen her before? She's awesome, both as a dramatic actress as well as being just freakin' *hot*; absolutely perfect for the role and she puts in a standout performance here throughout.And while we're on the subject of performances, this just in, Jason Priestly _can_act_.. I know. I could hardly believe it either but he puts on a really good show here. Admitedly they kept things fairly straightforward for him but nonetheless he carried it off well and brought out some surprising dramatic emotion when it counted.So overall, a well produced, well acted flawless envisioning of a great and quite frightening short story. I recommend it highly.

All the males in the world start killing all the females. What is going on here? This is certainly a juicy storyline for the series. It's also quite well executed, for the most part. A scene at a strip club is a particular standout, very brutal and explicit. However, it's director Dante's decision to film the story in an unconventional manner (he likens it to a cell phone capturing the image) that bugged the hell out of me. It didn't need it, the story itself is captivating enough.It does run out of steam towards the end but up until then it's mostly entertaining. The cast is touch and go. I never think Jason Priestly is very convincing in whatever he does but here he was above average. The ever so reliable Elliot Gould didn't disappoint however."The Screwfly Solution" is a solid entry in the series but not one of the best episodes.

The end of a movie is often what determines the overall impression of a movie. It can ruin everything or it can throw magi dust on the one and a half hour, where you where bored as hell. I actually didn't find the this episode so special along the way, but the end is pretty breath taking and makes this little short movie as a hole stand out as little masterpiece. It leaves you with this magical feeling of not really knowing what the movie you just saw was about. Is it about sexuality, nature or just something unspeakable? The answer remains a question.The acting is also not that bad, especially when you consider it is a TV-movie.
