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

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.
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 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.

With a large helping of blood, guts, cute boys & sexy girls, "Slices" delivers everything a horror fan wants! I saw this movie the other night in my dorm room, my roommate had just received it in the mail and it was Taco Tuesday so we put the DVD on and ate dinner. The opening credits were so cool, like blood running across the screen! The TV host guy was cute but not in the movie much. The first segment had a little too much gore for me, I liked the Night Scream segment. That had vampires and cute boys, good mix ;) The Dead Letters segment was sad because this writer had a dead wife who cheated on him. The last segment had a dirty mountain man kidnapping this adorable couple, luckily their sexy girl takes him down. The rest of the movie had cowboys fighting zombies, that was silly but entertaining and had really good make-up effects and stuff! Kudos to the filmmakers :)
