8 Days to Hell

Let's start off with the obvious. This is a B movie. There is no sugar coating that. Once you know that, your ahead of the other reviewers. No, it's not going to be winning any awards (not that winning awards means a movie is any good, but...). No, the acting isn't first class, stellar performances. No, the script isn't William Shakespeare. No, there isn't even any nudity! PG-13 nudity, but ... sadly, none of the standard B-movie gratuitous nudity we've come to expect from this type of movie.

Having said all that, you're probably wondering why on earth I'd rate this a six, huh? Well... even with all of that, it's not a bad movie. There's nothing to hate. While the acting isn't stellar... it's not bad. While the script isn't Robert Frost... it's not trash. If you are looking for an entertaining movie that you can sit and watch for an hour and a half without any subtext, you could do a lot worse.

The whole budget used for Eric Roberts for his 10 minute inclusion? So much more could have come out of the stories, had they not worried about having a main stream actor at his lowest than these terrible, below b(d actors) performances. 3 C actors would have been much less painful.

The entire anthology is just about the most awful thing you could watch to punish yourself. These aren't even B list actors. That would be a compliment. The acting is what you might expect in a very cheap adult video. It's tacky and incredibly boring. The writing is terrible. I can't tell if this is intentionally awful. It actually seems like they thought this was worth doing. It's so so bad. Not even good enough for a a few laughs at how awful it is. The writers seem to have taken Tired and used up story lines to recycle using actors that maybe seriously think they're good?? Hard to say. The whole thing plays like a skit you might do when using role play to mimic someone. Definitely not acting. At least nothing you'd seriously call acting. Don't waste your time. Not worth the curiosity.

If you are a fan of Tales from the Crypt, Creepshow, or the like, you might enjoy this anthology film.

This is no great work of art, but has a good mix of stories with some silly off the wall twists, some better than others.

The CGI, was as to be expected not extraordinary. I think if the film would have went with some more practical, even if as cheap, would have looked more charming.

Some of the stories shot by a bit quickly, as one might expect when you include 8 sometimes loosely connected mini stories together.

The acting was, perfectly adequate for this type of film.

I have never felt more sorry for a washed up actor than I do for Eric Roberts for appearing in this colossal piece of $h!+. He need professional mental health.
