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.

This one is just bad, folks. Student film grade badness, not even the so bad its funny kind. None of the stories are original, or really even that spooky. The acting is wooden and amateur, but it's not like they had the greatest writing and character development to work with. Some of the segments are period pieces, complete with "costumes" and "accents" and if you've understood anything I've said you can just guess how "enjoyable" they are. If you once changed the diaper of anyone involved in the movie, you'll probably think its the gosh darned best movie you've ever seen. If you don't happen to fit in that narrow target market ... run! This really is a film only a mother could love.

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'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.

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.

I just want to start this review off saying one thing...I love anthology movies growing up watching Tales from the crypt, Monsters, Twilight Zone, and off course movies like creep show and although not horror the amazing stories series I have become a major anthology junkie. But sadly more than half of them completely suck the most recent good one I had seen before watching Slices was Trick R Treat. Now on to my review of the little hidden treasure known as Slices.

As you may of guessed from my little intro there Slices is a anthology of five short stories shown too you through the eyes of an insomniac who has found himself watching a marathon of a horror host television show dubbed "Tales of the macabre" which gave me flash backs to growing up with such people as Elvira and the great Joe Bob Briggs on my television screen introducing me to endless tales of gore and terror. The stories included in this anthology are very original and at the same time pay homage to different styles of horror. You get a little taste of everything from torture horror to classic 80's splatter it's a nice tasting treat for anyone who grew up in the 80's.

Out of the five I really only disliked one but for sake of not tainting your viewing of this movie I've decided to keep the one I didn't to myself I'd really like to hear some others takes on this five shorts, so please feel free to leave comments if you happen to give this film a go. Each of the stories are pretty solid and entertaining they kept my attention the entire two hours and thirty minutes. The make up for the most part was pretty good and graphic at times the only make up I thought was bad was in the fourth story the "monsters" I'll call them so as to not spoil anything look like the members of Cradle of filth, but other than that I came away pleased with the makeup and the gore displayed in this movie.

Overall when the credits rolled I found myself happy with the time I just spent with Slices I'm very picky when it comes to these types of movies and watch everyone I can get my hands on. This is a fun watch for any fan that enjoys good old fashion low budget horror you'll feel like your back in the 80's before it's over having flashbacks of your Megadeth jean jacket and skin tight pants *throws up the devil horns*.

6.5/10 - Ritualistic The Liberal Dead http://liberaldead.blogspot.com

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.

Kwon-

If you're into anthology flix then you might like this. Low budget but it has some moments. Good music. Looks pretty good too.

I just ordered this off of amazon. I'm a big fan of Troma and I wanted to see Trent Haaga. He was very funny in this and probably the movie's best spots. Or at least one of the best. There were a couple really cool moments.

The movie has five segments in all plus a wraparound which Trent Haaga stars along with Matt Olivo. I did like a few of the segments a lot more than I thought. There was one segment that I did not like however.

All in all it was a pretty fun movie that you can tell they had a pretty fun time making.

For true horror fans..................JS

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...

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 :)

I watched this film at a sneak preview and it was scary as hell for a little independent horror movie. The premise wasn't the most original but it was effective in the payoff. This movie had 5 segments by five different directors and each segment had such a different feel to it, I really enjoyed the wrap around with Trent Haaga, who I love from Troma! Slices had some really outrageous and scary moments with Chuck Williams (Bubba Ho-tep and Groom Lake) but also some damn funny moments too. I couldn't stop laughing while watching David C. Hayes playing a zombie killing cowboy, he steals a few great scenes with his comedic timing. I wasn't at all bored with this movie and even know the movie had a couple of week spots, over all the movie was entertaining and had a great climax, me and some friends were talking Slices the whole night. I recommend this film to any horror fans who like to kick back, watch a Rock "N" Roll horror film and have a good time!

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
