A solid cast of name actors enliven this indie ghost story from the 2007 After Dark Horror Fest. Dina Meyer, Frank Whaley, Traci Lords and Gabrielle Anwar are among a group of friends directed to an abandoned home by instructions left in a will by a deceased companion; naturally, they become trapped inside the structure, which is revealed to be a former hospital where behavioral experiments were conducted in prior decades on scores of children. That the group should have a connection to these experiments should come as no surprise to viewers, nor should the fact that the hospital's vengeful spirits plan to keep their secret safe by eliminating the intruders in Ten Little Indians fashion. In fact, there's very little fresh material for horror fans to gnaw on in Crazy Eights: The dialogue is leaden and the plot constantly forces one or more cast member to irrationally wander alone into the darkness in order to meet their fate. Director James K. Jones should be credited for bringing a professional and atmospheric look to his production, and for some restraint in the gore department, but the picture as a whole treads overly familiar territory and is therefore not particularly frightening. The cast certainly tries hard, especially Whaley and Lords. The sole extra is a handful of webisodes that follow the search for Miss HorrorFest 2007. -- Paul Gaita

Genuinely creepy moments so cut it some slack
I caught this on on-demand Fearnet and wasn't expecting much. However, from the introduction to the final scene, the film held my interest and had some pretty creepy scenes. Worth renting and I'll take this over any of the Saw movies any day of the week.

traci
i'm a big traci lords-fan (not of her porns) and so i bought this dvd, because i was lucky that there was a new movie starring her. the idea of the movie was not so bad, but the movie for itself was a little bit boring. also i think that some brutal scenes were cut. on this dvd were trailers from the other 7 films from the after dark horrorfest, and i think, those films are better. especially borderland, where i also bought the dvd.the first star from my rating is for a new traci-film, and the second star is therefore, that she plays almost a leading role!

Almost worth the price.
This movie carried some decent B-movie actors (and even a porn star) through a fairly solid story, but most of the people that watched this with me agreed that the ending was extremely weak. It had a great build-up, quality kills, but fizzled into either a rush job, an undecided director's bad choice, or both.

Slightly scary with elements that have been run into the ground repeatedly.
If you can rent it cheap, you'll like it more.
