I knew that Slotherhouse was going to be train-wreck of a film, hopefully in a good way. The trailer looked funny, and who doesn't love sloths?

This film definitely had its moments, the best part being Alpha the sloth, who steals the show and in my case I was definitely team Alpha.

However, the film started to drag on way too long and I started to yawn and it was losing my attention rather quickly. I had to stop the impulse to skim through the rest of the film. I managed to hang in there, but just.

I think they just dragged it on way too long and they should have made the kills gorier for entertainment purposes. If you like spoof films, then you should enjoy it.

This movie feels like it was filmed by a team of YouTubers. The writing, effects, and continuity are all pretty eh. But it's far from the worst film I've seen. Probably the best feature of the movie is the film score, although that also is borderline over done. The movie survives by playing off the dumb backstabbing sorority trope, while also coming off as a slightly better low budget national lampoon film. Not something to go a theatre for though. It comes off as goofy and fun, without falling to the level of Sharknado. I'd say it's a good watch if you don't have anything else on your list. TLDR: Low budget but fun.

No pun intended - also this has more shades of Chucky (childs or rather animal play then) ... so not trying to compare it to the classic. There is the scene of course which may remind you of the Here comes Johnnie quote ... other than that, this is just silly fun.

Suspend your disbelief and just go with the flow. Beautiful (mostly) girls being the one dimensional sorority girls (cliches) you imagine. The sloth is the main attraction here (no pun intended either) ... and the way it moves or jumps or even ... well runs! There are many scenes that do not make sense ... but if you are a fan of the animatronic (of the puppet effects), you will like what the movie is doing ... a lot of violence and blood ... and I reckon some social commentary about ... social media and all that stuff ... again, do not overthink it ... the sloth might get you if you do ...

All the hate is definitely coming from your "quality taste" horror fans! This movie knew exactly what it was and it rolled with it and it's killed! Unlike most movies today using copious amounts of cgi it decided to go the practical route. Using a doll or animatronic it went with the Chucky approach and if you love practical affects stupid but not too stupid comedy and a plot that you can watch baker outta your mind then this is your movie. Maybe it's just me but I love comedy horror that doesn't require me to have to think how point A fits to point B! As long as you have comedy that makes me laugh and doesn't feel forced and kills whether it's shown or off camera then you've got me hook line and sinker! I'm sure I'm rating this a bit too high at the moment but I can assure this won't drop below a 7/10 after my second watch. Take the movie for what it is and enjoy it!

Slotherhouse is quite an ok experience, with funny dialogue, nicely written characters and a length of 1 hour and 33 minutes for a movie that overall, doesn't feel too much like..a movie.

The problem for me, was the sloth itself. You see, they gave him complete freedom as a killer, being able to do anything that a human does, so because of this I never got the purpose of the animal pick. Yes, they do mention that it is a lesson to leave wild animals in the wild, but I swear, if the killer here was human, this would have been a cute little slasher that worked.

I genuinely believe that if you are high, you can appreciate it a lot more.

It doesn't fall in the same category as Cocaine Bear, neither with The Gingerdead Man, somewhere in the middle, trying to be its own thing, but only partially succeeding.

All in all, for a one time view, you could do a lot worse.

Slotherhouse is more of an experience, because it feels so different than the regular horror comedy productions, so it takes some getting used to it.

Cheers!
