8 Days to Hell

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate "so bad they are good" horror movies, as well as homages to the schlock of the past. However, I found neither in this film.

Bad acting, predictable storylines and women in lingerie make this one more crap fest that includes the usual five minutes of Eric Roberts doing what he can to keep his SAG health insurance. The rest of cast includes the usual waitresses, bartenders and valet car parkers whose real jobs pay the bills while they try to get their first break.

May they all get something other than this film to make them famous.

As a collector of horror anthology movies, I have emassed a large collection. I would not say this movie goes into the excellent section but it it will be on the good shelf. It does have a bit of a b movie feel but it isn't altogether cheese. Most of the segments work and there are some good twists in a few that will leave you smirking more then being terrified. I liked most of the effects, the acting ranges from solid to hanging on by a thread. But as bad as anthologies can be this one is worth a watch and if you aren't expecting an Exorcist level horror film and watch it for what it is with a bag of popcorn on a rainy night you'll be entertained.

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.

I have never felt more sorry for a washed up actor than I do for Eric Roberts for appearing in this colossal piece of $h!+. He need professional mental health.

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.
