8 Days to Hell

source: 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.

As a seeker for horror anthologies, this is at the bottom of the entries in the last few years. It really suffers from poor execution, unconvincing acting, and zero budget design/production. The directing and editing seem non-existent except for shoddy PP effects. For actors that have a at least a B track record of performance experience, I found it surprisingly weak in this area. Some of that may have been symptoms of other issues, direction/script/otherwise. Either way, I was struggling to see this one through. The whole thing was dubious at best, and it can't all be blamed on the budget or bad CGI. And yes, the CGI is bottom tier.

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes, obviously low budget independent films are often pretty bad, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Like a lot of these films, there were some very good performances and a few pretty bad ones. But it moved quickly, and always good to see Eric Robert camp it up. At $2.99, a bargain.

This great anthology took me back to my youth and my Tales From the Crypt days. I enjoyed every single segment, which is pretty amazing for a vignette style movie. Looks great and solidly acted, especially for a low budget film. Terrific to see Eric Roberts in the film. I had an awesome time with this movie!

As a collector of horror anthology movies, I have emassed a large collection. I would not say this movie goes into the excellent section but it it will be on the good shelf. It does have a bit of a b movie feel but it isn't altogether cheese. Most of the segments work and there are some good twists in a few that will leave you smirking more then being terrified. I liked most of the effects, the acting ranges from solid to hanging on by a thread. But as bad as anthologies can be this one is worth a watch and if you aren't expecting an Exorcist level horror film and watch it for what it is with a bag of popcorn on a rainy night you'll be entertained.

I assume you gotta have a buck or know someone to get this into a streaming service. Dont get me wrong I appreciate "B" movies.. I get made fun of for watching them. This however is college growth, not even to be rated yet, kind of production. The money being spent here is being wasted except.... Shout out to Eric Robert's. Love him for doing this favor or to have to do these crap jobs to make a living. Ive seen tons of shorts on Alter and Screamfest that were 7 mins that blow this out of the water. Kudos to them for getting it made and getting Amazon to play it, but use you money on less because it would be much much more in this case. Work on all aspects lighting, sound, actors, the scripts/tales are decent if the production was there. Sorry this is as nice I could muster. I watch anything and understand its hard work this. I hope you're a younging and will grow from this.
