My Thoughts:
This is a movie I just recently got for $5. From what I was able to find out is that it is a Sci-Fi Original Movie. So that right there tells me this Zom-edy (as the back of the case calls it) could be pretty cheesy. So I went into this one with pretty low expectations. And maybe that helped because I actually enjoyed this one. I enjoyed it more then I probably should have. The majority of it's comedy was making cracks at other movies and TV shows. Some of it being pretty stupid... but I found myself laughing anyway. Being a zombie movie there was of course plenty of blood and gore. Some of which looked pretty cool... but there was also some that looked pretty cheesy.  Bottom line is I had a lot of fun watching this movie... even though as a movie lover I knew I shouldn't. So I guess I will have to chalk this one up as a guilty pleasure.

Sliders Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

5. WORLD KILLER
It's double the trouble when the Sliders land in a world in which Quinn's double has created a device that has caused the rest of the human population to disappear.

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode... but not as good as some of the previous episodes. In this episode Jerry O'Connell plays 2 roles through-out the episode.

My Rating:

6. OH BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?
Quinn is finally reunited with his long-lost brother. Colin, but loses him again when he gets caught up in a frozen corpse-smuggling scheme.

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode. As it says above in this one Quinn finds his brother colin... who was played by Jerry O'Connell's real life brother Charlie O'Connell. I liked how they made his brother come from a parrellel world that is so far behind (almost like the Amish) everything is amazing to him.

My Rating:

7. JUST SAY YES
Colin and Maggie find out the hard way what drugs can do when they land in a drug-addled society and accidentally become junkies themselves.

My Thoughts:
This one I didn't care for all that much. I just didn't care much for the whole drugged up world. Especially how they had Maggie and Colin acting when they were in the "rehabilitation center." There is a familiar face in this episode. That of J. August Richards who played Gunn in Angel.

My Rating:

8. THE ALTERNATEVILLE HORROR
One dark and stormy night the Sliders land in a haunted hotel, but the "ghosts" may be more closely related to them than they first appear.

My Thoughts:
A good episode... though not enough "ghost" stuff in this one for my taste. I definitely enjoyed it though. I especially enjoyed the fact that they changed the roles of Quinn and Remmy for their doubles. Making Remmy the genius and Quinn the rock star... though I didn't care for Quinn as the rock star... I didn't like the style they gave him. I mean it gave me a chuckle at first... but it got old quickly.

My Rating:

9. SLIDECAGE
While trying to reach Quinn and Colin's home world and their birth parents, the Sliders become trapped in a lethal labyrinth with no way out.

My Thoughts:
This is another episode dealing with the Kromaggs. While I don't normally like the episodes with them... this one was pretty good. I liked how they were trapped in the "Slide Cage" and had to figure a way out.

My Rating:
