Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

movieman_kev An insomniac who's tired of not sleeping decides to watch a horror TV anthology hosted by 'professor' Lucius Phibes (Trent Haaga). The good professor introduces 5 separate horror talesThe first, "The Exterminator" has a tyrannical boss being kidnapped and tortured. It's atrociously acted, thinly plotted and throughly unentertaining. If I were the insomniac after watching this story, i'd be asleep with a quickness.The second tale features a reclusive writer who doesn't want to be bothered with anyone after his wife drowns. He stumbles onto a way of 'reanimating' his poor deceased wife. It's a tad better than the first story, but it's also too lightly plotted, the 'twist' a bit too easy to realize & the characterization way too sparse. the third deals with a group of friends unknowingly inviting a vampire into their house. The plot twists in this one don't really make all that much sense if you hold them to the light. And since it's also short, no ideas get a chance to be expounded on. This is a great detriment to the enjoyment of it in my eyes.Moving on to the forth story, A group of people are besieged by zombies in the Old West. This segment is more 'comedic' then the first three, but sadly said 'comedy' falls decidedly flat. The zombie make-up is all right, i guess (if you squint) but the story is barren & motivations unclear. Worst of all there's no ending, it just....ends.The last story does NOT go by that old adage 'saving the best for last' in the least. Quite the opposite in fact as it's as awful as the dreadful first story. It deals with a trio of friends hiking in the woods and catching the eye of a maniac. It's excruciatingly boring and badly acted. The less said about the soul-killing short the better.Lastly the wraparound segments are saved only by Trent Haaga, who's the only entertaining thing about the train wreck of a film.Eye Candy: after the ending credits roll, we are 'treated' to an extra taking a lengthy shower scene. (treated is in quotations as she's not really that good looking. she does show T&A and a hint of the other)My Grade: D-DVD Extras: 12 & a half minute Making-of featurette; music video by The Sea Monkees; photo reel; trailer for this movie; and trailers for "Blood Predator", "Grave Mistake" & "Rock'N'Roll Frankenstein"

newsmanklein QUICK FIX: An insomniac channel surfs one night looking for something to help relax him and hopefully finally give him some rest, but instead he stumbles upon Prof. Lucius Phibes and his TALES OF THE MACABRE TV show, which sets up the excuse for five different filmmakers to offer up five, count 'em FIVE, different tales of terror with the obligatory CREEPSHOW-ish wrap-around story, giving us everything from a "bring 'em back undead or alive" type zombie western to a WRONG TURN-infused hiking trip gone haywire. How'd they hold up? Well, I've always felt it best to single each one out individually, so let's take a look: RAMBLINGS: "Where's my cake, Bedelia?? YOU BITCH!!!" First up from writer/director Vito Trabucco, we have revenge/torture-centric tale, THE EXTERMINATOR, a futuristic story in which America's population absolutely must be kept right at or below the 300 million mark; not a single person higher. I actually think this would have been a much cooler premise to explore in a feature had they had the dough to do so, as I would love to see the filmmakers run with that storyline to see other avenues of it touched on rather than just dipping straight into HOSTEL territory for the majority of its running time. Next up, Steven Richards' DEAD LETTERS, a story about an alcoholic author who can't let go the memories of his dead wife, but who may just have a chance to relive the glory days with the arrival of a special package in the mail one day. This was an entertaining little story which reminded me very much of Stephen King's short, THE WORD PROCESSOR OF THE GODS. Third in line is Neil McCurry's NIGHT SCREAMS, the vampire tale of the bunch. I have to say this one was my favorite of the five, not only because no matter how much vamps have been sanitized, sterilized, and bastardized in the TWILIGHT series, I still have a soft spot for them in my black little heart, but also because I felt it told the best story in the little time it had. And even though I had it figured out before the bleak end, it was still a nice ride and I had a good time with it. Next up, Lance Polland's THE RANGE, about some Confederate soldiers on the run, the law dogs after them, and those nasty zombies that always get in the way and mess things up. I really hope this segment was intended to be as funny as I thought it was watching it, as more than one scene reminded me of one of my favorite westerns of all time, BLAZING SADDLES…. Our headliner in this series of stories comes from Lenny Lenox. TURNOUT is the story of a couple and their friend out for a leisurely hike that encounter a deranged psychopath in the woods who abducts them one by one for his nefarious…well, what other reason do maniacs abduct hikers in the woods for?? Body count, of courseAnd lest we forget, there is the wraparound segment featuring our Insomniac, whose unraveling mental state thanks to no sleep is slowly blurring the lines between reality and what he's seeing unfold on the TV screen in front of him. Also, guys (and some of you girls out there – you know who you are), stay with the flick through the end credits…it's blatant, it's gratuitous, and it's wonderful.LAST WORDS: So now, you may or may not be asking, that we've been through everything, is the sum as good as the total of its parts? Or however the hell that saying goes….anyway, I did enjoy some segments by far more than others, and I understand all too well how some days you just have to make the most of your budget, roll with the punches, have a little fun, and go for it. This wasn't a bad movie, and I enjoyed it for what it is. Anthology lovers – it's worth a look, as the CREEPSHOW vibe is definitely there, save for the big Hollywood names and much larger budget they had back in 1982. Aspiring filmmakers – you should watch this to see what can be accomplished with not a lot of cash to spare and still put out a product you can be proud to show to genre fans.http://www.horrornews.net/reviews/Review_Slices.htm#HOME

buttonbill78 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.

baloongirlsarah 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 :)
