The Slaughterhouse Massacre

Low-budget films have always been a mixed bunch, ranging from the surprisingly good (Evil Dead) to the amazingly awful (too...many...to...count). This entry along with many of it's modern brethren seem to exist somewhere near the bottom or even outside of the low-budget mythos; truly micro-budget films of disastrously poor quality. Someone make the bad man stop.

Stupid drunken youths get the idea that it would be fun to sneak into an abandoned slaughter house for some pranks, even though it's something like 30 miles from the party. The get in, an vengeful creature shows up, they die, blah blah blah...

Already you should know that the story is not a strong suit, or any of the writing for that matter. The dialogue is stilted, characters clique, scenarios are dumb; the even introduce characters that either vanish quickly or have no real bearing on the plot.

Not that it matters, as the actors are so bad no amount of writing genius could have pulled it through. Save for the fact that they are generally an attractive collection of youths there is nothing worth mentioning about them.

Production values are no better. A lame re-usage of sets is among the first things one will notice, but other things will follow. Like the bad lighting or maybe the laughable gore effects. How about the sloppy editing or the cheesy physical action in the murders. On and on it goes...

So why a 2 rating after all the bashing I've done? Well, I am a mortal male and the fare serving of nudity early in the film along with a raunchy (for an R-rated film) sex scene provided just that amount of entertainment.

In short, don't watch it.

2/10

A quick word of advice to everyone involved in this movie, just quit and learn another trade before it's too late, since the movie business is obviously not the right direction for you.

Yes, I'm really getting fed up with modern horror movies, with perfect looking teenagers, who of course aren't played by teenagers at all. The guys are all acting like arrogant jerks while the girls are just acting and looking slutty, thinking that they are all cool and the world is theirs. But seriously, this is not even why this movie is such a formulaic but above all things horrible one to watch.

What an enormous mess of a movie this is. There is actually literally nothing happening in the first halve and once the 'killer' enters into the story you at first don't even realize it because it all gets told so incredibly bad. seriously, half of the time I couldn't even tell what was happening because of the incredibly sloppy way this movie got shot and told in. And yes, it would had been nice if there was actually something interesting or tense happening in it.

The concept is as simple and weak as can be really about a bunch of lame drunk teens deciding to go to an old abandoned slaughterhouse were once the owner got killed in. And really, that is basically all that this movie is; a bunch of teenagers walking around an old abandoned slaughterhouse, being and looking all scared while nothing is ever happening. It seems that they randomly suddenly split up and end up getting wounded. Sorry but I just couldn't tell what was happening in this movie and why.

It gets so incredibly poorly brought to the screen by both the cast & crew that was involved with this movie. It obviously 'borrows' from many other genre movies but it even doesn't do this very well at all. I just couldn't believe how bad and silly this movie was looking at times. There are lots of clumsy moments in it and they seemed to have basically no idea how to make a decent horror movie, or just a movie in general. There are also some really awkward, supposedly dramatic, moments in this movie, that just seem to go on for ever. They don't know when to end certain stuff or how to keep a movie going and build up something.

Nothing good or half decent about this movie. Don't be like me and don't waste any of your time on this.

OK. I'll make this short and sweet;; this movie is horrible! It would be absolute heaven for a ten year old boy that has never seen boobs before and wants to brag to his friends bout it.

Seriously if a man comes to your door and offers you eternal life if you watch this junk tell him to clear off cause it's really not worth your energy. I'd rather be beaten by a corpse then watch this again.

Oh and for anyone that says it wasn't that bad did you fall asleep during this and dream you were watching a good movie with celebrities?

Only buy Slaughterhouse Massacre/Sickle if you have a death wish or your being held at gun point.

One * out of ten and I'm being generous.

Please I want the 90mins of my life back!!!!This is probably the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I felt violated just watching the movie. If I will make a list of what went wrong with this movie it will probably take me a week, so i'll just state the obvious ones. Actors who doesn't have a clue about acting,awful!!!awful!!! effects and props used, a story line that jumps from A to Z then to C... sex scenes which are completely unrelated to the story.

This was an independent movie so I would have expected the poor lighting and the bad direction..but having a good plot and good actors could have been its saving grace.

Seriously to those who are planning to watch this movie.. I beg of you.. save yourself the agony.

This is so bad its the funniest thing i have seen.

Nothing beats putting this on and speeding it up to the death scenes and watch in amazement asking yourself how and why the cast would act in something so horrible. Maybe because they contributed to the horrible factor.

Now i have seen a lot of heads get cut off in movies but i must say i have never imagined a movie to use a dummy head of a different monster when it rolls off. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. seriously, u have to watch the kill scenes to believe it.

But warning, do not watch it from start to finish because your eyes will bleed from such horrible acting. I mean horrible. But your stomach will definitely hurt from laughing.

I kind of hate ending up with trash like this, but then some times its that bad its worth it. But if you pay to see this, then you may feel the right for a refund. Just a warning.
