It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Attending a funeral for a friend, six friends have a reunion. The deceased last request is for the group to open a time capsule they buried together 20 years ago. When they do this, they discover the corpse of a dead girl and before anyone can reflect or recall why the corpse is in there, they all leave. The angry spirit locks all of them in a decaying old hospital and makes them confront their roles in the dead girl's death. In the meantime they are getting picked off inside the decaying walls of the hospital. Well, sort of. That is if you can follow the story that jumps around in ways that aren't always clear. This is Crazy Eights biggest problem and at times is frustrating. Wrapped inside this frustrating story is a horror film with some solid scares and imagery, a good dose of atmosphere from the old building and a solid cast. Director uses the scary looking ghost just enough to keep the audience wondering what nasty deed she is going to do next. The movie has good pacing and never becomes dull although the blood his kept in check for most of it. Unfortunately there are just too many moments where the audience will be asking 'what is going on here'. The ending is also a head scratcher as well. It's too bad the narrative couldn't have been tighter but the movie still delivers enough creeps and scares to make it something to watch.

This is the ONLY movie I ever walked out of.....and i watched it at home. 7 friends, and you don't even get any sense of friendship amongst them - they only vaguely seem to know each other - reunite and dredge up an old trunk/time capsule in honor of the eighth friend, and weird stuff starts a happinin'. Tracy Lords was better in her former career - which was disgusting - that tells you how good she was here. Well, as predictable as the rain, one by one the comrades begin to meet unfortunate happenstances, and the others frantically try to make sense of it all. How many times can you hear the word "NO" screamed during a movie, or the starlet, hands pulling hair, looking skyward, screaming "What do you want?" . Yup, folks, all the clichés are here. I'd suggest if you were planning to cut your nails back to the cuticle, do that instead, much more pleasurable. Absolutely awful.

How long these people behind Horrorfest can go on pretending that they are releasing anything but below average horror movies by marketing them as extreme, one can only guess. Crazy Eights is an awful waste of time.Six adults end up investigating their past for no good reason. They end up in some hold house and keep digging further and further until they realize they can't get out and that they are unconsciously familiar with the old house. Thanks to a misplaced intro we know everything about these people and what happened to them as kids. They don't know it. So the audience has to put up with an hour and a half of these clowns making stupid decisions that will get them in trouble so they can find out a past that we already know. Usually in these kinds of movies, they hire teens to play the characters. The difference here is that they are adults, but they still act unbelievably dumb. No one makes a single rational decision at any point.Eventually, they end up getting hurt and dying- thankfully. The movie is well filmed, with a decent cast making the most of a script that should never ever have been approved for production. Technically the movie is also well done. But what can you do if you have nothing resembling a decent story? There is near zero character development. At times this movie wants to be a ghost story with a creepy girl, at other times it wants to be one of those lame psychothrillers where the characters are screaming at each other for hours. It doesn't succeed at either. This movie has no humor, very little in terms of violence, gore, thrills. Not worth even a rental.

...er...did anyone notice that this film had the soundtrack to another far more happier sounding, albeit odd film? Also is the name 'Chuck Hammer' nestling comfortably in the list 'Top Ten Names to avoid giving to your child at all costs or he'll seek his revenge by composing ill fitting musical accompaniments'?Does 'B-Movie" now mean 'Bad' movie?If however you absolutely need to fill 80 minutes, may I recommend the following course of action - get some paint, a brush, one wall and a chair.After enduring the painful experience of watching 'Waz', 'The Happening' and now this film, i fear these may be the last coherent sentences I am able to extract from my tortured mind.*****SAVE YOURSELVES*****READ.
