III Slices of Life

SLICES OF LIFE (aka: III SLICES OF LIFE) is a low-low-budget horror anthology film. As such, it's pretty good. The wraparound story concerns three books, each having the title of a particular segment.

WORK LIFE: W. O. R. M.- A nerdy guy infects his coworkers with a computer virus that turns them into crazed zombies. This is the lesser of the bunch. It's rather bland.

HOME LIFE: AMBER ALERT- A child killer is on the loose. Meanwhile, a woman is haunted by pint-sized ghouls. This one is quite macabre and effective.

SEX LIFE: PINK SNAPPER- A brother and sister are on the run after assaulting their disgusting uncle. Happening upon a rural house, they discover a girl locked in the basement. Unfortunately, they let her out, bringing the title into play. This is the best of the three stories. It's also a bloody, sickening mess! Gorehounds will drool!

So, there you have it. Three tales ranging from so-so to really good...

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.

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.

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.

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!
