‘At home, at work, at play… terror is never far away!’
III Slices of Life – aka 3 Slices of Life and Slices of Life – is a 2010 American horror anthology film directed by Anthony G. Sumner (Gallery of Fear) from a screenplay co-written with Eric Richter and Alan Rowe Kelly. It stars Kaylee Williams, Marv Blauvelt, and Helene Alter-Dyche.
Mira (Kaylee Williams) awakens in front of a seedy roadside motel with amnesia. She searches for clues to her identity in the pages of three bound sketchbooks, in which each book represents a different aspect of everyday life, maybe her life.
Work of Life (‘W.O.R.M.’): A lowly clerk at a nano technology firm unleashes a deadly virus at the office headquarters, giving new meaning to the term corporate zombie.
Home Life (‘Amber Alert’): As local girls begin to disappear, a young pregnant woman is haunted by visions of evil demonic children hell bent on stealing her unborn fetus.
Sex Life (‘Pink Snapper’): A young brother and sister on the run from a sexually abusive home life, take refuge in a countryside Victorian manor- only to discover the monsters hidden in this house have been looking for a new home.
Reviews:
“Though a fair share of the folks in this film seem like non-actors or friends of the filmmakers (apart from the ‘Pink Snapper’ sequence, that is), this film delivers on every other level. Even when some of the performances fall short, the filmmakers know how to make up for it by inducing scares and splattering bodily fluids around by the barrel-full.” Ambush Bug, Ain’t It Cool News
“There’s a few spots where some of the stories seem to drag a bit and could have used some tighter editing, but this aside Sumner has given us a hugely entertaining horror anthology. Sumner himself calls this a “micro budget horror anthology” and I for one am impressed with the level of acting and with the incredible special effects.” Scott Shoyer, Anything Horror
“All three short films within the movie have blood and gore elements, leaving ‘Pink Snapper’ as the goriest featuring a creature that comes out of a woman’s vagina and being able to dismember human body parts. ‘Amber Alert’ is creepy as it features children and adults alike with faces that morph into disfigured monsters.” Joanna Rose, HorrorNews.net
“This is a poor one with some good entertaining moments and ideas, but with a very amateurish execution and bad acting. It also features Tales-of-the-Crypt type of ironic/moralistic twists […] The deaths are gory, but the splatter only really goes over-the-top for the last one.” The Worldwide Celluloid Massacre
