Slices

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've read a few reviews of this online. Some good, some not so good. so of course i have to check it out. i netflixed the movie and watched it last night. i'm a big fan of creepshow and anthology films so that is what peaked my interest. there are 5 segments with a skit tying them together. all in all i was pretty entertained. it wasn't a bad little film at all. the first segment was pretty good with a guy getting tortured. technically the sound was off here and there. it was shot pretty good for a low end format. the acting was good on some and not so good on others. i am going to give this 10 stars to defend it from bad reviews but i would probably say 6 out of 10.

Looks like a documentary and smells like bad acting. No decent stories, terrible actors and shoddy camera-work. This is quite possibly the worst crap I have ever seen, and I am B-movie fan. Quite frankly, anyone who thinks this movie even deserves a rating is daft. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this film. How it made it to DVD is a mystery. It reminds me of something that a high school theater arts class might produce, except much worse. A HS theater student wouldn't even want to tarnish their name putting it on this garbage. Do not watch this movie, do not rent it, do not download it, even if it is free it is a rip-off. Awful, simply and utterly and totally awful.

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...

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.
