Slices

I watched this movie based on the trailer I saw on youtube, you pretty much get what you see. Anybody purchasing this movie knows whats in store for them.

All the above comments bashing this movie are not real comments, just some angry schmuck. This has flaw as does any low budget horror movie, anybody who watches these types of films already know what they are in for. The music is good from start to finish, the sound is so-so and the lighting could have been better is a couple of the segments.

The acting was bad in a couple of the segments but overall was good. The zombies in the old west was pretty funny and had great costumes, the Vampire segment "Night Scream" had tight make-up effects and the introduction to each segment was good and entertaining.

I give it a 8 for trying something new.

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.

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...

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
