Slices of Life (2010)

Load of rubbish!!

Fresh and Exciting

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A movie that - in theory - could've passed muster as rejected Tales From The Crypt flick. The movie is three separate stories with an overall framing sequence set in a Bates Hotel ripoff The sequence doesn't really make sense though they obviously needed something to keep the movie organized. Each story itself would've had some redeeming quality but the director went with the cheap route going with blood, gore, and cheap SFX. The first one is probably the 'best' of the three. The second one shows its cards too early to be of interest. The last one is of the "kids run out of gas and find a place" variety which manages to throw a history twist and but then goes straight into the dumpster halfway in.This movie could've been a WHOLE lot better and that's the real waste here (and why the movie gets only a 3).

This movie was forced upon me at a friends house and I should be clear that I did not enjoy it at all.Firstly I'd like to mention the acting. There is little to no acting in this film at all. Each one of the "actors" puts up a truly terrible performance and I don't believe that it's a matter of them trying to do it on purpose, these are just purely untalented people.The production value of the film is also laughable. I see no real reason why this movie should have played anywhere other than YouTube. It looks like some kid filmed it and used any number of computer programs to add his own gore and silly effects after he was done.The stories themselves were pretty predictable as you could easily tell how they were going to come twisting around since the poorly written script and even more awfully acted portion instantly gave away any surprises that would be coming later in that particular story.This has to be one of the most awful "films" I've ever seen, if not the absolute worst. I would not suggest to anyone to spend a cent on seeing this atrocity to film. Though there was ONE bright spot in the whole film: it came at the end when the movie was over.

After reading the six reviews here, and then watching the film, I can only conclude that these six are either friends of the actors, or they work for the production company. This is one of the worst indie horror films I've ever seen, and I've seen plenty.Think of the very worst of 70s low-budget horror films....now put this one in that category. There are three parts to the anthology: Work Life, Home Life, and Sex Life. The worst by far is The Programmer in Work Life. This part had some of the lamest acting I've ever seen on film and that goes for the entire cast. Not a one of them could have won an audition for a high school play. Dreadful.In Home Life the acting improved, and it showed some early promise of wit, but the wretched screen play fizzled out before the end. And yet this part was the pick of a bad lot.Sex Life, had it been played for humor, might have been marginally entertaining, especially the scene that's a takeoff on the movie TEETH, but on steroids. But weeping Jesus on the cross, the acting, direction, and plot begged to be put out of its misery. But I did like the kids' makeup.Do not believe a word of the first six reviews here....unbelievable how anyone could find even a modicum of praise for this rubbish. I only struggled through it so I could write this review as a warning. Sheesh!

I saw "Slices of Life" (called "3 Slices of Life" now apparently) at the Horror Society Film Festival in Chicago, and was pleasantly surprised by it.The filmmakers' introduced the picture as a "micro-budget independent horror film", or something to that affect, and that it took four years to make from start to finish. "Slices" hearkens back to those horror anthologies of the '80s where there are a number of story segments (in this case three of them) along with a wraparound story that brings them all together. Each story has its own tone, look, and feel that probably owes much to the film's length of production, with each segment looking better than the last. I don't remember the segments names, but story-wise there are Office Techno-Zombies, Demon Kids, Vagina Monsters, and Magic Books of Flesh! I went with a couple of friends, and each of us had a different favorite story segment.Considering how low budget the film must have been, the end result is very impressive. Overall "Slices" is pretty fun and twisted, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Check it out if you get a chance!
