Slices

Slices hearkens back to the days of the anthology (most popular in the eighties). That the director got Trent Haaga to play the macabre theater host was a great coup. Unfortunately none of the other actors rate above C-grade in this movie. The scripts on a couple of the shorts are terrible. The Dead Letters or whatever is barely a horror movie, while zombie one ends with a whimper. The first segment was okay even though it has the actor (the always lovable Chuck Williams) bleeding profusely with nary a scratch on him (it really could have used more good gore!) The last short was okay too. The vampire movie one was a bit absurd at the end with the twist, but it was shot really good.

If two or three of the directors acted together they might have been able to flesh our 4-5 good shorts into this anthology. Too many cooks spoil the broth--and in this case the movie as well. It is worth a look only if you like horror anthologies in the mold of Creepshow, though Creepshow is by far a better movie.

I've seen this before but forgot until about 5 min into it. I see I haven't rated it yet, so let me say "DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!". It has all the redeeming qualities of a mid-80's college assignment - crap writing, crap acting, and some attractive women who don't show enough to make it worth watching. Film has 5 stories and a wrap around, but none of it is good. All the IMDb reviews echo "it isn't that bad".....I'd have to say "it isn't that good." Again, do NOT waste your time on this one, even if you watch utterly unwatchable horror or kung fu crap like I do. And I watched it twice. I am ashamed, but I'll blame the non-sober part of me.

i've read a few reviews of this online. Some good, some not so good. so of course i have to check it out. i netflixed the movie and watched it last night. i'm a big fan of creepshow and anthology films so that is what peaked my interest. there are 5 segments with a skit tying them together. all in all i was pretty entertained. it wasn't a bad little film at all. the first segment was pretty good with a guy getting tortured. technically the sound was off here and there. it was shot pretty good for a low end format. the acting was good on some and not so good on others. i am going to give this 10 stars to defend it from bad reviews but i would probably say 6 out of 10.

This one is just bad, folks. Student film grade badness, not even the so bad its funny kind. None of the stories are original, or really even that spooky. The acting is wooden and amateur, but it's not like they had the greatest writing and character development to work with. Some of the segments are period pieces, complete with "costumes" and "accents" and if you've understood anything I've said you can just guess how "enjoyable" they are. If you once changed the diaper of anyone involved in the movie, you'll probably think its the gosh darned best movie you've ever seen. If you don't happen to fit in that narrow target market ... run! This really is a film only a mother could love.

If you're into anthology flix then you might like this. Low budget but it has some moments. Good music. Looks pretty good too.

I just ordered this off of amazon. I'm a big fan of Troma and I wanted to see Trent Haaga. He was very funny in this and probably the movie's best spots. Or at least one of the best. There were a couple really cool moments.

The movie has five segments in all plus a wraparound which Trent Haaga stars along with Matt Olivo. I did like a few of the segments a lot more than I thought. There was one segment that I did not like however.

All in all it was a pretty fun movie that you can tell they had a pretty fun time making.
