8 Days to Hell

Let's start off with the obvious. This is a B movie. There is no sugar coating that. Once you know that, your ahead of the other reviewers. No, it's not going to be winning any awards (not that winning awards means a movie is any good, but...). No, the acting isn't first class, stellar performances. No, the script isn't William Shakespeare. No, there isn't even any nudity! PG-13 nudity, but ... sadly, none of the standard B-movie gratuitous nudity we've come to expect from this type of movie.

Having said all that, you're probably wondering why on earth I'd rate this a six, huh? Well... even with all of that, it's not a bad movie. There's nothing to hate. While the acting isn't stellar... it's not bad. While the script isn't Robert Frost... it's not trash. If you are looking for an entertaining movie that you can sit and watch for an hour and a half without any subtext, you could do a lot worse.

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.

As a seeker for horror anthologies, this is at the bottom of the entries in the last few years. It really suffers from poor execution, unconvincing acting, and zero budget design/production. The directing and editing seem non-existent except for shoddy PP effects. For actors that have a at least a B track record of performance experience, I found it surprisingly weak in this area. Some of that may have been symptoms of other issues, direction/script/otherwise. Either way, I was struggling to see this one through. The whole thing was dubious at best, and it can't all be blamed on the budget or bad CGI. And yes, the CGI is bottom tier.

Sometimes, obviously low budget independent films are often pretty bad, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Like a lot of these films, there were some very good performances and a few pretty bad ones. But it moved quickly, and always good to see Eric Robert camp it up. At $2.99, a bargain.

I assume you gotta have a buck or know someone to get this into a streaming service. Dont get me wrong I appreciate "B" movies.. I get made fun of for watching them. This however is college growth, not even to be rated yet, kind of production. The money being spent here is being wasted except.... Shout out to Eric Robert's. Love him for doing this favor or to have to do these crap jobs to make a living.

Ive seen tons of shorts on Alter and Screamfest that were 7 mins that blow this out of the water. Kudos to them for getting it made and getting Amazon to play it, but use you money on less because it would be much much more in this case. Work on all aspects lighting, sound, actors, the scripts/tales are decent if the production was there.

Sorry this is as nice I could muster. I watch anything and understand its hard work this. I hope you're a younging and will grow from this.
