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.

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 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.

Slices- The Movie is a series of five separate films that all come together in the end. A man with what seems like insomnia is plopped on the couch watching late night TV titled Theatre of the Macabre with a peculiar horror host named Professor Luscious Phibes. He introduces us to the first film on the menu called The Exterminator. Here a nasty executive gets his just deserts when he is kidnapped and tortured in the veins of films like Hostel or Saw.

The next film on Professor Luscious' list is Dead Letters and in it a very popular author named Ash can't seem get over his ex wife who has passed away. He is pining at her grave when his agent Tyler comes and tells him he needs to move on and get his ass back to writing best selling novels. Tyler also thinks he can get him a pretty nice book deal. When he comes to Ash's house for dinner, really sees how hung up the old man really is! My favorite one outta the bunch was the next called Night Screams. Here two couples head out to what they think will be a sex filled party type of situation until there is a knock on the door and Sandra shows up to sink her teeth into the situation. The Range had the whole western 1880's theme with three Confederate soldiers on the run from the law. After they meet up with skin ripping zombies they'll wish they just nested up behind those jail cell bars! The final show on Professor Phibes list is The Turn Out where a guy and his girl are led out to this romantic spot by a friend so he can drop on one knee and ask the love of his life to marry him. So when they get there the friend wanders off to give the two lovebirds some privacy. Well too bad they didn't notice the old dirty man lurking in the woods. Now he has the couple in his grips, will they manage to escape or will that wedding never come to be? Written by The Angry Princess http://thisissomescene.com
