"Unfortunately only two of these films are even worth your time."

Autopsy - 3 stars

This is one of the better ones in the series. Even though it is not great, it does have some good parts. The special effects are on the better side compared to the others but do not expect them to be perfect. The storyline is not bad even though it is reminiscent of several movies in the past. This one is high on the gore but it does not make up for the weaknesses in the script, therefore it remains an average film even considering it is a 'B' horror movie.

The Broken - Rating 2.5 stars

Lena Headey is the best thing about this film but she cannot save this from being below average. I am familiar with Headey (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), it was nice to see her in a film even though it is a 'B' movie. It surprised me that she appears topless, but who am I to judge. The film was at times is boring and uninteresting. There are too many shots that just linger and add absolutely nothing to the story which was poorly written. We get absolutely no background on 'doppelgangers' and the plot is very predictable, making this one disappointing at best.

The Butterfly Effect 2 - Rating 3.5 stars

I had very low expectations for this movie and the only reason I purchased it was to complete my collection. I was not necessarily dreading watching it, but I figured it would be one of those subpar '8 Films to Die For' films. I was surprised because this was a good movie. It may not have the best photography, but that is overcome by the decent story and acting. If you enjoyed either of the previous Butterfly Effect films or enjoy horror movies with a 'who did it' theme, I recommend this one. I do not think you will be disappointed.

Dying Breed - Rating 2 stars

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of this film is boring and nothing new here, tired storyline that was drawn out excessively. How many times have we seen movies with cannibals in the woods? Special effects are ok but really nothing 'special' about them. Acting is what you would expect from this type of film. The best thing about this film is seeing pictures of the extinct Tasmanian tiger.

From Within - Rating 2 stars

From Within is yet another boring addition to the third installment of '8 films to die for' series. There is nothing scary or thrilling about this film and with the cast (Rumor Willis and Thomas Dekker) I expected a lot better. It plays out like a bad made for television movie that you would see in the wee hours of the morning. Predictable plot, bad acting and drawn out storyline cause this film to be one that you can definitely miss. One of the major downfalls of this movie is the fact there is virtually no character development so you could care less about the characters. Instead of trying to incorporate every horror movie cliché, they should have spent more time on the actual characters and basic storyline.

Perkins 14 - Rating 1 star

Contrary to a lot of reviews I have read on this film, I feel this one is the worst in the series. It was boring and the type of film you cannot help but to fast forward through a lot of it. Actually the film is better watched in fast forward because then you do not realize how bad the acting is. This film tries too hard to develop the characters which causes it to fail in evolving the correct atmosphere to keep the view entertained after the first 30 minutes.

Slaughter - Rating 2 stars

If you can make it through the first hour of nothingness then the film does turn into some semblance of a horror movie. I kept wondering when there was going to be more to the story than following two women around partying. I am sure the first hour was supposed to be character development, but as with most of films in this third series, the first part (or first three quarters) is wasted with boring scenes that add nothing to the film. The first half of this film could have been simply done really in about ten to fifteen minutes had the script been a good one.

Voices - Rating 2 stars

This is a foreign film and it is done in Korean so you have to read subtitles. Even taking that into consideration, the film is hard to follow. It does come together somewhat in the end but not entirely. In the end it is just another 'curse' film that had been done so many times before. I foresee an American remake of this film which will ultimately fall within the same category of 'The Eye' or 'One Missed Call'.
