Crazy Eights

Name: Crazy Eights
Year: 2007
Genre: Action Horror
Rating: R for violence, disturbing images, and language (not much gore though)

Plot Outline:
Six friends reunite after 20 years at a mutual childhood friend's funeral. A search through their deceased friend's house reveals a map to a trunk. The map spurs the friends to find it and dig it up. After uncovering the trunk, the unexpected is found ... the rotted remains of a child. A child from a past they've long forgotten, a child that begins to haunt their every waking moment and makes them question who they really are. The closer they come to remembering the circumstances of the mysterious child's death, the closer they come to their own reckoning.

Review:
Wonderful premise for a movie with a whole lot of problems. The acting is sub-par and the pacing is a little Ehh. It starts off slow and if you make it through the beginning then it only gets worse. Characters with no common sense and a main story line that is a little less than believable are all through out this piece of "art". I found it hard to even devote my full attention to it as it was very boring and confusing. Defiantly not worth the four dollars I spent renting it. In conclusion if your looking for some thing to watch that isn't a piece of crap then look somewhere else.
