Review of Crazy Eights (2006) by Paul S — 10 Jul 2012

Six people are brought together by the death of a friend. Which leads to a discovery of a time capsule unleashing evil from there childhood home.

Crazy eights is the most confusing badly directed, badly scripted not scary horror film in a number of years.

The plot is interesting and in more accomplished hands this film would have been better.

Open ended by bad acting and script. The cast are pretty much the D list of actors, you have seen them all in at least one film, and that film was years ago and either the film was just ok, or the film was good and they were the most un interesting part in it.

Also to note is the soundtrack which seemed to have been completed by a number of composers, it is intrusive and distracting.

The whole film wraps up making little sense, with the worse offender being why was the ghost killing the characters.

Overall the film comes and goes so quickly you will forget most of it by the end of the credits.
