I really do love horror anthologies and wish there were more made. I was hoping to be able to look past the budget and enjoy the film.

Unfortunately it is impossible to look past non professional actors and watch a film in which this will be the only movie the main characters will be in because it just makes you want to cringe wit every line of dialog spoken.

This has three stories and a wraparound story much like Creep show. The only story bearable is the final of the three.

The movie is not scary, has zero tension, and when it attempts humor it falls flat on its face.

I do not recommend this movie to even die hard horror fans. I do believe the stories could have been rewritten and made into a good little horror flick. However, this does not happen when you get your friends and family as the cast.

A movie that - in theory - could've passed muster as rejected Tales From The Crypt flick. The movie is three separate stories with an overall framing sequence set in a Bates Hotel ripoff The sequence doesn't really make sense though they obviously needed something to keep the movie organized. Each story itself would've had some redeeming quality but the director went with the cheap route going with blood, gore, and cheap SFX. The first one is probably the 'best' of the three. The second one shows its cards too early to be of interest. The last one is of the "kids run out of gas and find a place" variety which manages to throw a history twist and but then goes straight into the dumpster halfway in.

This movie could've been a WHOLE lot better and that's the real waste here (and why the movie gets only a 3).

After reading the six reviews here, and then watching the film, I can only conclude that these six are either friends of the actors, or they work for the production company. This is one of the worst indie horror films I've ever seen, and I've seen plenty.

Think of the very worst of 70s low-budget horror films....now put this one in that category. There are three parts to the anthology: Work Life, Home Life, and Sex Life. The worst by far is The Programmer in Work Life. This part had some of the lamest acting I've ever seen on film and that goes for the entire cast. Not a one of them could have won an audition for a high school play. Dreadful.

In Home Life the acting improved, and it showed some early promise of wit, but the wretched screen play fizzled out before the end. And yet this part was the pick of a bad lot.

Sex Life, had it been played for humor, might have been marginally entertaining, especially the scene that's a takeoff on the movie TEETH, but on steroids. But weeping Jesus on the cross, the acting, direction, and plot begged to be put out of its misery. But I did like the kids' makeup.

Do not believe a word of the first six reviews here....unbelievable how anyone could find even a modicum of praise for this rubbish. I only struggled through it so I could write this review as a warning. Sheesh!

This was a truly horrible movie. Production value was extremely low, but not in a good way. This movie just has nothing and that's really amazing cause even a blind squirrel gets a nut sometimes. To start with there is really no coherent story line. To follow it up the acting was more like something I would expect to see in a 2 grade elementary play. And for the third strike there weren't even any decent looking girls to help pass the time. After the first story I was ready to turn it off but instead I went to IMDb.com and saw the good reviews and thought maybe one of the other stories would have some redeeming factors, unfortunately I was wrong if you have already rented this movie quickly burn it.

Just read the reviews. Very easy to tell that they're written by people involved with the movie. Half of them were surely even written by the same person as they end in the same way, with an enthusiastic, "If you want to see a great movie or great horror or a good time or whatever, see Slices of Life" followed by an exclamation point. It's just sad that someone would go to that much trouble to get people to see a movie that's so terrible. Don't have much to say other than that. I get the appeal of wanting to make movies, it's what I'm going to school for. I think it's disheartening to see that some people worked so hard (it isn't easy, I know that, whether you're making something good or bad, filmmaking requires some real effort) on something that turned out to be garbage.

All that there's left to say is, if you want to see a great horror movie with gore-galore and plenty of laughs..... well then maybe you'd be better off seeing something else!

As a fan of low budget and indie films I was so disappointed in this movie. I liked the concept of the three part anthology, however it was so poorly written it just fell apart. The first part "Work Life" was the stupidest thing I've ever seen. I could tell from the very beginning I made a mistake when I choose this movie, but I kept an open mind assuming it has to get better, disappointingly it was just one big mess. I have seen better acting in grade school plays, seriously it amazes me that these "actors" are not embarrassed by this disaster of a film. It was not scary, suspenseful or even humorous! Just sad, so sad that this ever made it to my Video Store and I was lured into renting by the interesting cover. Perhaps the only interesting thing about this film, was it's DVD cover.

Take heed and don't waste your hard earned money on this.

I do love Horror movies. I do love B-movies. And hell yeah, I love myself a good trash movie every now and then. But this - uh, movie - this is one of the most boring, lame and totally dumb films I have ever seen. Don't even think about watching it. This movie totally sucks. The acting is bad. The gore is idiotic, lame and cheap. The story lines do not even exist. THIS SUCKS. I read some of the first reviews, but like my predecessor said, they must have been friends of either the director or the production company. No person in its right mind could enjoy this. Not even the director can. Every 3rd rate Italian zombie flick of the 70s had more ideas, better plot and more talented actors than this stupid piece of crap.

This movie was forced upon me at a friends house and I should be clear that I did not enjoy it at all.

Firstly I'd like to mention the acting. There is little to no acting in this film at all. Each one of the "actors" puts up a truly terrible performance and I don't believe that it's a matter of them trying to do it on purpose, these are just purely untalented people.

The production value of the film is also laughable. I see no real reason why this movie should have played anywhere other than YouTube. It looks like some kid filmed it and used any number of computer programs to add his own gore and silly effects after he was done.

The stories themselves were pretty predictable as you could easily tell how they were going to come twisting around since the poorly written script and even more awfully acted portion instantly gave away any surprises that would be coming later in that particular story.

This has to be one of the most awful "films" I've ever seen, if not the absolute worst. I would not suggest to anyone to spend a cent on seeing this atrocity to film. Though there was ONE bright spot in the whole film: it came at the end when the movie was over.

As everyone else already mentioned above about the movie every little fact is completely legit. From my personal POV let me give you a simple example of what this movie would make you feel like. I am the kind of person who never comments on you tube or public forums as I think it doesn't matter what one thinks by stating your opinion,I have been using IMDb for almost three years but literally after watching this movie I registered to this site just to write this stuff about the stupid joke I just witnessed which people consider a "movie". I have seen students with no experience or funds making and posting better short clips/movies/songs/spoofs on Youtube than this pathetic movie, Not only it disappoints you for seeking a good horror movie but it will make you hold a grudge against these no life actors who made this terrible joke.If this is what they call acting is,then I guess I'm done watching movies... It is so lame and badly acted that words aren't enough..the only way one can understand the viewers pain is to actually watch the movies themselves.. Please take my word for it,Go spend those two hours with your family,friends or go do anything in general,anything....anything will be way more worth than this POS...

Reviews such as those peppered throughout this page really annoy me. Making bold statements as fact such as 'only people involved in this movie submitted all the decent reviews' are ridiculous, because how could you possibly know that!? I can safely I am not a relative of the film makers; I wasn't involved in the production, nor was I an actor in the film. I am purely a horror movie fan with a great love of independent cinema. Yes, you get a lot of poorly made duds in indie cinema, but you also get a lot of gems. Slices of Life is a gem.

Focusing on three stories (Work Life, Home Life and Sex Life) with a genuinely intriguing wrap around story (featuring a very sweet and vulnerable Kaylee Williams) the film far exceeds expectations considering its very low budget.

The first tale 'WORM' (Work Life) is a hilarious story of a nano virus gone horribly wrong; resulting in a blood bath of body horror and out and out gore. It's basically a zombie tale with a techno twist. I thoroughly enjoyed this segment; it's just a gruesome good time. Admittedly it is the least enjoyable of the three but that isn't to take away from its worth.

Second up 'Amber Alert' (Home Life) is a dark tale of kidnapped children, a young pregnant woman haunted by demonic forces and a deeply disturbing truth which rears its head at the end in gory fashion - *ahem* sledgehammer scene!!! Toya Turner as the pregnant-lead-in-peril shines here as her character 'Vonda' and she really raises the bar for acting within independent horror.

Finally you have the craziest segment of the bunch 'Pink Snapper' involving a brother and sister on the run, a house masking a terrible secret and gore galore. Deneen Melody plays the perfect damaged women character, 'Susan', in this tale who, after supposedly killing her abusive uncle, stumbles upon an even greater horror, along with her brother Eric (Galen Shloeming). I wouldn't want to give too much away about this short except to say it may make you the cross your legs tightly in its final moments! This one was my favourite of the bunch and really ended the anthology part of the movie on a blood splattered high.

The wrap around segment ties things up in an interesting and highly original fashion but again I wouldn't want to spoil anything. Slices of Life is one of those indie horror flicks that needs to be seen – it's well made, well acted and really delivers the horror goods. I am sure I will be accused of being the director's brother on the back of this but I don't mind - I truly loved Slices of Life and I know it's very quickly finding its audience which is just fantastic.

Or 3 Slices of Life as the film seems be called in the credits is a low-budget anthology film featuring amateur actors and lots of gore. There is also nudity too.

Synopsis: there are four stories here including the wraparound story Sketchers - A young woman wakes up on the lawn of motel with no memory of who she is. She is told that she works at the motel and is put back to work by the constantly inebriated owner. While there she here's voices telling to open one of three flesh-bound books of sketches. As she reads each the film fades into to tell the story. As each story ends she find that they are describing real events W.O.R.M – a lonely nerd working in the basement of a large marketing company thinks he has found a solution to getting people to like him but his plan goes very wrong. Amber Alert – A pregnant woman finds herself haunted by visions young girls who have gone missing in her neighbourhood. Pink Snapper – A brother and sister go on the run to escape a sexually abusive uncle. They find an unconscious man on the road by a large house. After taking him to the hospital they return to house and find his daughter locked up in the basement.

The amateur acting film is definitely going to be a major turn-off for most people especially in the wraparound story but I kept watching and I have to say that the stories and the special effects really made it worth the effort. This film reminds of the type of films Frank Henenlotter makes, cheap and cheesy exploitation films with gore by the bucket. If you like films like Frankenhooker or Bad Biology then you may also like this.

This was bad. And I mean really, really bad. From the first few minutes of "Slices of Life" you can clearly see that this movie will be dumb, dull and amateurish - but in fact it is much worse than one might imagine.

In this textbook example of mediocrity you can find more or less each and every aspect of a horrible movie: annoying and stupid characters, senseless and retarded plot(s), terrible sound and miserable special effects. And of course basically non-existent acting in general.

Considering that it was just an indie movie without a huge budget, I would gladly overlook those poor effects and maybe the stiff acting - but the plot was so stupid (in all short stories) and there were so many flaws and continuity errors, that there is no excuse anymore.

This was really one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Watching a silly gory B-movie can be fun when you have gathered around with a group of friends expecting some cheesy fun. However, '3 Slices of Life' does not offer that because it scores very low on the entertainment quotient. Very poorly written and terribly executed (quite obviously this was made by an amateur), there's little that holds the viewer's interest. The only story that's even at least mildly interesting (if you can call it that) is Amber Alert but even that is ruined by sloppy writing and execution. The 'movie' looks as though it was shot with a poor quality home video camera. The slightly washed out color makes everything look pale and unappealing. The acting is just as poor with the exception of perhaps Toya Turner who seems to at least put some effort. The makeup and special effects are laughably bad and so is the desperate use of supposed metaphors. Obviously, I wasn't anything great or even good but at least something entertaining which '3 Slices of Life' fails to deliver.

I saw "Slices of Life" (called "3 Slices of Life" now apparently) at the Horror Society Film Festival in Chicago, and was pleasantly surprised by it.

The filmmakers' introduced the picture as a "micro-budget independent horror film", or something to that affect, and that it took four years to make from start to finish. "Slices" hearkens back to those horror anthologies of the '80s where there are a number of story segments (in this case three of them) along with a wraparound story that brings them all together. Each story has its own tone, look, and feel that probably owes much to the film's length of production, with each segment looking better than the last. I don't remember the segments names, but story-wise there are Office Techno-Zombies, Demon Kids, Vagina Monsters, and Magic Books of Flesh! I went with a couple of friends, and each of us had a different favorite story segment.

Considering how low budget the film must have been, the end result is very impressive. Overall "Slices" is pretty fun and twisted, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Check it out if you get a chance!

Our evening at the Portage Theater was fantastic! Meeting friends to premiere Anthony and Eric's film was a very special experience for us! The setting was beautiful, and the build-up to the introductions and the start of the film was the event of the evening! "Slices of Life" was a non-stop ride into the terror that consumes our lives! To see the trilogy come to life on the big screen was an experience we will never forget! Penny's fingernails digging into my arm and hand throughout the three "slices" evidenced the suspenseful intensity of each vignette! Anthony's writing and directing and Eric's cinematography brought to life the anguished and tormented characters, so well portrayed by the wonderfully-talented actors! We are blessed to know and love some of the finest talent and leaders in the world of horror! Congratulations to all, who were involved in this marvelous project!

I saw this film at its premiere at the Chicago Horror Society Festival and found it to be a lot of of fun and pretty creepy. Slices of Life is an anthology of three short horror films with a wraparound story to tie the films together. The great thing about this film is that there is something for everyone in it - zombies, sex, ghosts, murderers, incestuous overtones, man-eating lady parts, and a LOT of blood...it's nearly impossible to be bored by this film! The stories themselves are a lot of fun - very reminiscent of Tales from the Crypt, Creep Show, and other 80's horror. Also, there are some standout stars such as Toya Turner and Deneen Melody. These are definitely actresses to keep your eye on!

Check out Slices of Life - it's a great low-budget indie horror movie that feels like a 80's film. You won't be disappointed!

I saw Slices of Life at the Dark Carnival in Bloomington Indiana. I was not entirely sure what to expect, but really enjoyed this film from beginning to end! The 3 stories are unique and enjoyable and put cool twists on the typical horror staples of zombies, vampires, and ghosts! Every story pulled me in, kept me interested, and kept me guessing. The story that ties all the other stories together is great too, and really blew me away at the end! This is definitely a breath of fresh air to this genre a worth a view or two!I thoroughly enjoyed this film and look forward to seeing it again! I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a good horror movie that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Even love the initials-S.O.L. that spell out the movies title. Great cast,awesome stories that are not dissimilar…Just all profound. Individual story teases-W.O.R.M.,has a great feel to it,And no lack of effects…all cyber geeks take note,Please. AMBER ALERT – Wow,Just WOW. They even used children of the right age and the story was so,so well thought out..Bravo! PINK SNAPPER,No guessing just rent it for the surprise and there are lots to behold…Very clever ending and these all seem to have a moral to them,Huh..Try to get one out of SAW 13. Wrapping all this up is SKETCHER,Kind of has a EVIL DEAD tome look. Please Anthony G. Sumner and Eric Richter take a bow,Job well done …Good movie = Worth the rental fees.

Mr. Anthony G. Sumner has hit a bulls-eye with this chilling omnibus involving zombies, sexual parasites, serial killers, demon children, etc. SLICES OF LIFE really does have something for every horror fan. There's gore-galore for the bloodthirsty, but there's also some truly great storytelling to be found here. The first segment, "Work Life," focuses on an unpopular clerk at a Nano Technology firm who unleashes a bizarre virus that transforms the workers into an assortment of zombies. "Home Life" tells of a young pregnant woman who is tormented by visions of demonic children while a series of local girls mysteriously disappear. In the final segment, "Sex Life," a young brother and sister flee a sexually abusive home life and seek refuge in a countryside Victorian manor, where further horrors await them. The acting, writing and direction all achieve consistently high standards...and the special effects will truly blow you away. This indie film truly is better than any big-budget studio horror produced today.
