Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The Cycle Segment: Sketcher---Mira, Tiny, IrmaSketcher is the overview segment. Mira wakes up low on contextual memories. The people near her advise her to read the sketch books that Mira herself supposedly authored. Oi, there's a rotary telephone receiver.The first book was about WORM; the protagonist is an office drone named William, who works at Nimrod Enterprises.After completing the WORM section, Mira talks to Tiny and Irma, then starts reading again. This time, it is the Amber Alert section of the picture book.Vonda and Ally visit Mira, then Mira starts reading the Pink Snapper segment.After Mira finishes Pink Snapper, a drunk comes in followed by Susan. Yes, the same Susan as in Pink Snapper. Susan makes it clear she's going to kill the guy.Mira finds a second book. The voices in her head tell her to read the book and to remember. She goes to a suite where Irma and Tiny are. Irma speaks of regeneration. She had drawn Mira, who is a young version of herself. Mira kills Irma, and Irma's spirit (or whatever) passes to Irma as low energy lightning.------Work Life Segment: W.O.R.M---WilliamOne meaning of WORM is the derisive nickname that a lazy co-worker gives William. His office is in the basement, and he circulates through the offices above doing computer waste pickup work. The other meaning, W.O.R.M., concerns controlling people remotely using nano-technology.William has just gotten his online 'degree' (whatever that means) in computer programming. He tries to interest the people in the offices of Nimrod Enterprises about his fake accomplishment. The people around him are self-involved and delusional, as is William. William thinks he will get a promotion into R&D. Then he tries to join an online porn/companionship site. Not surprisingly, this does not go well for the inexperienced young man.To get on top of things, William gets the 'Nano Idea' disk, loads it, and figures out how to use it. Right. In terms of motivation, William's aim is to make (literally, as in to force) other people to like him. What could possibly go wrong? Quite a bit. Everyone wants to see him since he unintentionally e-mailed the nano virus (nonsense, of course) to everyone in the offices above.Unfortunately, the virus causes people to become zombies. The authorities contain this, and lock up William because he started it, because he did not turn into a zombie, and they don't understand why not.------Home Life Segment: Amber Alert--Vonda, Lamont, AllyVonda is quite pregnant. When she is alone for a short spell, the TV won't stay turned off, and she hears of several abductions of girls ages 7 to 10, including Ally. She sees Ally in her back yard. Ally acts strangely, and shows demonic transformations. Vonda goes back into the house, locks her doors, and tries to hold up while familiar things in her house change shape. She calls her husband Lamont to come home, then faints. When she wakes up, he is there. They discuss the missing girls; Lamont had not heard of Ally. She rewinds the TV, but cannot find what she had seen before.Vonda has odd sightings at the grocery store. People seem to change before her eyes. She walks home, and finds a poster for Ally on the way. She telephones, in but the other end has never heard of Ally; the poster for Ally reads Amber when Vonda goes to quote from it. Vonda and Lamont get in an argument when he gets home. Lamont experiences the horror after that, seeing the abducted girls transformed into monsters. He gets a ride in his car, with the car under control of someone else. This does not end well for him.Back at the house, Vonda has more visitations from the abducted girls/monsters. She gets to find out some of Lamont's secrets. The monsters come for Lamont (you will know why) as he's about to do in Vonda. The baby decides to show up about then as well.This segment has a happy ending, except for Lamont.------Sex Life Segment: Pink Snapper---Susan, EricSusan gets a call from her brother Eric while her drunken cop uncle Jack sleeps. When she gets off the phone, he molests her again. Eric shows up soon, and engages the uncle, even though the uncle is heavier, trained, and stronger. Susan slams the uncle in the head with a skillet, very hard. They take the uncle's car keys. They take the car and put some distance between them and the dead uncle.Eric wonders what to do. Good question. They go to a house where they have a connection. Eric starts screwing Elizabeth, which is a really bad idea. Elizabeth's father Edgar recognizes that Elizabeth had killed Eric using the sexual parasite in her private parts. Edgar shoots Elizabeth in the head, killing her. Susan is upset by the yelling. She races upstairs, misinterprets the scene, and uses a hammer to kill Edgar. Great stuff. Three dead and quarts of blood strewn all over.She gets too close to Eric. Elizabeth wakes up just long enough to mark Susan with blood. The parasite leaves Elizabeth and enters Susan. That was quite a penetration.Susan survives this, and heads home to the recuperating Uncle Jack.Poor Uncle Jack. Sort of.------Scores-------Cinematography: 0/10 Sound: 8/10 Acting: 0/10 Hire some actors next time.Screenplay: 4/10 Not executed well, but there were story ideas in each segment, and the ending made sense, given the nonsense that preceded it. The editing was bad, the continuity was bad, and better direction might have gotten more out of the non-actors.
As everyone else already mentioned above about the movie every little fact is completely legit. From my personal POV let me give you a simple example of what this movie would make you feel like. I am the kind of person who never comments on you tube or public forums as I think it doesn't matter what one thinks by stating your opinion,I have been using IMDb for almost three years but literally after watching this movie I registered to this site just to write this stuff about the stupid joke I just witnessed which people consider a "movie". I have seen students with no experience or funds making and posting better short clips/movies/songs/spoofs on Youtube than this pathetic movie, Not only it disappoints you for seeking a good horror movie but it will make you hold a grudge against these no life actors who made this terrible joke.If this is what they call acting is,then I guess I'm done watching movies... It is so lame and badly acted that words aren't enough..the only way one can understand the viewers pain is to actually watch the movies themselves.. Please take my word for it,Go spend those two hours with your family,friends or go do anything in general,anything....anything will be way more worth than this POS...
I almost had zero expectation from this Movie But It turned Out to be One of the Best Anthology Movies i have ever seen in Hollywood.I wonder why the rating is 3.2 and which mean people have rated this movie Below 7 as it deserves above 6 at least.SLICES OF LIFE is a combination of 3 Horror stories. WORK LIFE is a story of a lowly clerk at a nano technology firm unleashes a deadly virus at the office headquarters, giving new meaning to the term corporate zombie.The story is lil weak compared to other two. HOME LIFE is a story of a local girls begin to disappear, a young pregnant woman is haunted by visions of evil demonic children hell bent on stealing her unborn fetus.I found it to be the best of the three stories.Visual effects has impressed me a lot.SEX LIFE is a story of a young brother and sister on the run from a sexually abusive home life.The Twist at the end of this story will make you shock for sure.On the Flip side, The Original story of a girl working in a hotel doesn't make any sense.Overall SLICES OF LIFE is a Horror Anthology at its very Best.You can't afford to Miss this Flick being a Horror Fan.Highly Recommended.9/10 from My side.
I do love Horror movies. I do love B-movies. And hell yeah, I love myself a good trash movie every now and then. But this - uh, movie - this is one of the most boring, lame and totally dumb films I have ever seen. Don't even think about watching it. This movie totally sucks. The acting is bad. The gore is idiotic, lame and cheap. The story lines do not even exist. THIS SUCKS. I read some of the first reviews, but like my predecessor said, they must have been friends of either the director or the production company. No person in its right mind could enjoy this. Not even the director can. Every 3rd rate Italian zombie flick of the 70s had more ideas, better plot and more talented actors than this stupid piece of crap.
