I recently viewed this movie because I'm a fan of anthology movies like Tales of the Dark and Creepshow. I was surprised at how original all five segments were set up, the picture was OK for HD. Most of the acting was fine, a couple of them not so fine. Dead Letters was one of the better segments I thought, the story was good and the acting was really well done. Night Screams was interesting I since I love vampire stories this one had me from the get go. One thing somebody should tell the NS director that vampires can't be stopped by a bullet to the head lol! That was kind of stupid. As far as the rest of the movie I enjoyed myself, the first segment was pretty cool with lots of blood- thumbs up on that! The western had cowboys fighting zombies which tries segment was the only comedy out of the five so I found it totally refreshing and hilarious. Another thumbs up to Emilee Wilson from the last segment Turn Out, she very convincing in her role and was also very cute to watch when getting down and dirty in the fight scene! I give this movie a 10 for pushing the envelope in diversity for a five segment anthology film and not being bound by the conventions of a run of the mill horror movie! I'm interested to see what they follow this up with! Deacon...

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.

For true horror fans..................JS

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 watched this movie based on the trailer I saw on youtube, you pretty much get what you see. Anybody purchasing this movie knows whats in store for them.

All the above comments bashing this movie are not real comments, just some angry schmuck. This has flaw as does any low budget horror movie, anybody who watches these types of films already know what they are in for. The music is good from start to finish, the sound is so-so and the lighting could have been better is a couple of the segments.

The acting was bad in a couple of the segments but overall was good. The zombies in the old west was pretty funny and had great costumes, the Vampire segment "Night Scream" had tight make-up effects and the introduction to each segment was good and entertaining.

I give it a 8 for trying something new.

Kwon-

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.
