8 Days to Hell

I have never felt more sorry for a washed up actor than I do for Eric Roberts for appearing in this colossal piece of $h!+. He need professional mental health.

The entire anthology is just about the most awful thing you could watch to punish yourself. These aren't even B list actors. That would be a compliment. The acting is what you might expect in a very cheap adult video. It's tacky and incredibly boring. The writing is terrible. I can't tell if this is intentionally awful. It actually seems like they thought this was worth doing. It's so so bad. Not even good enough for a a few laughs at how awful it is. The writers seem to have taken Tired and used up story lines to recycle using actors that maybe seriously think they're good?? Hard to say. The whole thing plays like a skit you might do when using role play to mimic someone. Definitely not acting. At least nothing you'd seriously call acting. Don't waste your time. Not worth the curiosity.

If you are a fan of Tales from the Crypt, Creepshow, or the like, you might enjoy this anthology film.

This is no great work of art, but has a good mix of stories with some silly off the wall twists, some better than others.

The CGI, was as to be expected not extraordinary. I think if the film would have went with some more practical, even if as cheap, would have looked more charming.

Some of the stories shot by a bit quickly, as one might expect when you include 8 sometimes loosely connected mini stories together.

The acting was, perfectly adequate for this type of film.

As a collector of horror anthology movies, I have emassed a large collection. I would not say this movie goes into the excellent section but it it will be on the good shelf. It does have a bit of a b movie feel but it isn't altogether cheese. Most of the segments work and there are some good twists in a few that will leave you smirking more then being terrified. I liked most of the effects, the acting ranges from solid to hanging on by a thread. But as bad as anthologies can be this one is worth a watch and if you aren't expecting an Exorcist level horror film and watch it for what it is with a bag of popcorn on a rainy night you'll be entertained.

The whole budget used for Eric Roberts for his 10 minute inclusion? So much more could have come out of the stories, had they not worried about having a main stream actor at his lowest than these terrible, below b(d actors) performances. 3 C actors would have been much less painful.
