BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

gavin6942 Three short stories in the horror genre: The first about a serial killer. The second about a hair transplant going wrong. The third about a base ball player who receives a questionable eye transplant.The sad truth is that giving this film as high a rating as I did really comes down to one thing: the endless supply of guest stars from the horror genre (and beyond). Who can dislike a film with Wes Craven, Sam Raimi, John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper and more? That is incredible.As for the film itself, it is about average. The acting and directing are fine, and the gore really starts to add up in the third segment. But the script was really nothing special, and I am not shocked that Showtime declined to turn this into a regular series (any given episode of "Masters of Horror" is better).The disc from Scream Factory makes this average film a little something more, with plenty of insight from Stacy Keach, John Carpenter and producer Sandy King. Horror fans may think the movie is average, but you are bound to learn a few things from the commentary.

atinder This corpse tells 3 stories, about this other bodies in the morgue "The Gas Station" Anna who arrives for her first job, working the night shift at an all- night filling station And Bill her Boss tell her to care full of people as t a serial killer has broken out of a mental hospital. So she keeps the booth Closed most of time, The short is was on edge, serving people! This short was good, there was some little tense moment in this movie were well done and I really liked the twist was really good and I really liked how the segment ended 7/10 "Hair" Richard Who's is getting bald and then when he see advert on TV about miracle' hair transplant operation, and goes thought with it and really happy with results. Soon he keeps growing in places that never meant to have hair, I not sure what to think of this one, I found this bit of weak story and Some of the effects in this short were poor. 5/10 Decent "Eye" I would say this was the best of bunch, They saved the best for last! Brent ends up losing one of his Eyes, after Car Crash (Which Could have been done better) But there one nasty gory scenes in that Crash, Which I thought was decent.When doctor tells his could get new Eye, after the doctor tells and again after he also happy wit results. Until take Dark turn in the story!I really liked this story, very well paced and some really good acting from the cast, some very wearied scenes in a good way! I liked how the story came to end really good! 8/10 Not bad anthology the whole movie I give 7/10

mattressman_pdl Directors John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper bring you a made for cable horror anthology known as...BODY BAGS.Hosted by an amusing John Carpenter as a cryptkeeper like host. He's a lively corpse himself and delights in the torment of the other bodies in the morgue. So he's going to tell you about them...(well three of them, anyway).Story One finds a young college student being stalked in a desolate gas station by a menacing killer. Watch for Carpenter regulars Buck Flower, Peter Jason, and Robert Carradine as well as cameos from Sam Raimi and Wes Craven. Not a very good story but much better than the other two that follow Story Two finds a balding bachelor (the always watchable Stacy Keach) desperate for a cure to his thinning scalp. He finds one, thanks to an eccentric doctor played by David Warner. The cure works a little too well...This one is a little corny but fun.Story Three is directed by 'guest' Tobe Hooper and is unfortunately the weakest story. Professional baseball player Mark Hamill is distraught after losing his eye in a car accident. That is, until another creepy doctor offers him a transplant...from an executed serial killer. Nothing bad could possibly happen, right? Overall, the films wraparound segment proves to be more entertaining than the segments themselves as it feels like an old EC comic but the film isn't without it's positive points. The first story has decent suspense and all of them have their tongue planted firmly in cheek.Seek out this one out!

Coventry Movie-buffs (and perhaps horror fanatics in particular) are strange and unpredictable beings, aren't they? Most of the time we're extremely skeptical and criticize ambitious new projects, yet sometimes we're easily pleased and highly enthusiast about something that is completely derivative, mundane and unoriginal. "Body Bags" is the perfect example to illustrate that: it's a horror omnibus existing of three incredibly prototypic segments and a repetitive type of wraparound story, yet I personally enjoyed it immensely. This is a good old-fashioned "sit back, relax and switch off all brain functions" type of anthology with a nice diversity in suspense, comedy, splatter and absurdity. Yet, the undeniable strongpoint of "Body Bags" is the all-star horror cast and crew, with legendary actors and even directors of the genre appearing in fun supportive roles and insignificant cameos. No less than John Carpenter directs two out of three stories and even stars as the host in the wraparound story. Clearly inspired by "Tales from the Crypt", Carpenter plays the witty and morbid morgue employee exactly like the infamous Crypt Keeper; though with still a little more flesh around the bones (though not too much). The first story was the most effective one! Regardless of how clichéd, repetitive and predictable "The Gas Station" is, it's a genuine horror entertainment. With the landmark "Halloween", Carpenter obviously proved he's the undeniable master of stalk-and-slash movies, and "The Gas Station" ideally fits the pattern. During her first night working in a remote gas station, Anne receives a visit from the maniacal killer who's been terrorizing the area since weeks. It's a highly segment with cool red herrings, dumb decisions, some good gore and a neatly uncanny atmosphere. The remaining two stories are slightly less overpowering, mainly because they revolve on sillier topics. "Hair" introduces an aging playboy who cannot accept his hairline becoming thinner. He desperately starts seeking for a hair-growing method that works and finds the incredibly treatment of the slightly odd Dr. Lock. Needless to say Richard's new hairdo begins to lead its own life with terrible consequences. "Hair" is obviously the most blackly comical chapter of the three. This story isn't gory or tense, but it's a very likable satire about vanity. Finally, "Eye" centers on a successful and happily married athlete who loses his eye in a tragic car accident. He spontaneously volunteers for a brand new and risky eye-transplant procedure and slowly begins to carry on with his life. Shortly after, he begins to suffer from horrific visions and learns the eye's previous owner was a sadistic serial killer. "Eye" starts off a little slow and dull, but gradually turns into an exciting and gruesome little shock-story. With a bit of imagination, you could even interpret this segment as some sort of predecessor for the more famous Asian ghost story "The Eye". Admittedly none of the stories are extraordinary brilliant or innovating, but they're definitely traditional and enthusiastically made. And, as said already, if you don't care about the actual stories, you can always yourself entertain by playing "spot-the-horror-star". "Body Bags" boosts an amazing cast including John Carpenter ("Halloween"), Tobe Hooper ("The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"), Sam Raimi ("The Evil Dead"), Roger Corman ("Pit and the Pendulum"), Wes Craven ("Nightmare on Elm Street"), Robert Carradine ("Orca"), David Naughton ("American Werewolf in London"), George Buck Flower ("The Fog"), Stacy Keach ("Mountain of the Cannibal God"), David Warner ("The Omen"), Mark Hamill ("Star Wars"), Twiggy ("The Doctor and the Devils"), Deborah Harry ("Videodrome") and Charles Napier ("Supervixens").
