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.

cheesy,cheesy,cheesy..............most predictable, if I were a 12 year old boy looking for cheap nudity and sex this would be my kind of movie. however I wasn't grossed out or scared and I knew before it happened who was gonna die. it was however good for a laugh. if you enjoy titles such as evil tunes this may be right up your alley. there are many shots of girls running around in undies and bras, sometimes less. I found myself wondering if a more stupid group of people on the planet ever existed. the set was pretty lame and the acting was way bad. this is one rental I want my money back for. if you are looking for laughs rent this, if you are looking for blood and gore look elsewhere.

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.

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.

First of all I had a really hard time giving this video a rating of one. Since there were no zero's I will have to suffer. Secondly, thanks to Lions Gate I have officially wasted good hard earned dough and 90 minutes out of my life. I wasn't going to dignify this film with a review at all, until I noticed their GLORIOUS CLAIM on the DVD box cover "More frightening than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" - "Independent Film Quarterly."

Now, I'm not sure who it was over there at IFQ or should I say "Lions Gate Affiliate"... But the critic should be "independently" drawn and "quartered" for the cash exchanging hands in that deal. Although, I can say that the critic might be right in one respect. I was very frightening that anyone picked this film up for distribution and had the brass to put it on a rental shelf. I can forgive the bad acting, the bad effects, the bad sound and the over all bad direction of the film. After all it is a slasher film.

I was a little lost at times in the story though, not because there was no real story to begin with. But, because they show a couple of the same shots over and over again throughout the film. So, I wasn't sure if my DVD player was having a fit because of the crap I put in it. Words to the filmmakers... Shoot coverage. I don't know might help in the future.

As for our Marty Sickle, I've been more frightened of the Telletubbies than I was of the comical sickle wielding Marty who was more annoying than scary. At least I can sort of understand what the telletubbies are saying. The effects in this film look like they were done on a second-generation etch-a-sketch. Eighty percent of this cast was pulled from the local strip club and the nudity and sex scenes were over the top and completely out of place in the story. At times I felt I was watching a really, really, really bad porn rather than just a really, really, really bad slasher film. At least get hot chicks if your going to go that route guys.

The audio in this picture is so terrible from bad mix levels that sixty-five percent of this video is completely inaudible. The acting was more than atrocious and the chase scenes in the slaughterhouse were comical to say the least, with four bumbling idiots running in circles from a corny run of the mill bad acting killer with... guess what?.... a sickle. Boy, the writer on this film must have felt so profound when he was pitching this. Oh wait, he must be profound. He wrote, directed, starred, and was a full time fluff girl on the set. I will however, say that the fake stuffed rat in the picture did a great job. I smell Oscar.

If you want to see scary, go into your kitchen, get out a dull butter knife and slit your own wrists with it. It's exactly what I wanted to do during this film. Congrats to the filmmakers and Lions Gate, you have added to the piles of crap the rest of us have to weed through to watch decent movies.

Hey, at least the DVD I returned to the rental shelves is now so scratched maybe they will just toss it... AVOID this film at all cost's.

P.S. Note to filmmaker. Never put a fake claim on a DVD box cover. It just sets yourself up for bad comments.

There are a whole lot better things to spend your money on and this should not be one of them.This is about as bad as it gets. Everything was horrible: music,acting,villain,"legend".The only good thing were the hot girls in the movie and some T&A, thats it. This film is full of dumb clichés and and cheesy lines. The villain looked like some small pox carrying bum. Way too many things were wrong with this movie and I don't know of anyone who would actually like this movie.Video stores should ban this movie from their selections and just burn whatever copies are left in this world.It should have never seen the light of day.

OMG oh god no. oh GOD NO.

Paul Gagné... what a horrible red-neck piece of garbage....

this man is a sleaze.. he created this film and used it as an excuse to basically exploit young girls int performing sex acts to the camera, and then just added a half-assed horror element... this man is a perve and just wanted to see naked girls have sex... the girls didn't get paid for it either... its very uncomfortable to watch, no element of professionalism at all... omg i feel sick watching it... please some one needs to stop this man, stop this man before he abuses more women.. he has to be stopped.. he has to be stopped....

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.

Well for the Die-Hard movie critic that look at films in a narrow minded way they would rip this up. BUT if your a serious "blood, guts, & gore fan your gonna love this. They just don't make these "B" class flicks anymore and there are people who like this sort of thing. In the tradition of "Pieces", "Slaughter High", "I Spit On Your Grave", "Slumber Party Massacre", you have a good ----GoreFest here. Yeah sure the acting is awful but who cares your watching it for the BG&G! Hollywood and Indies just don't make enough of these types anymore like they did in the early to mid 80's. Definitely not to be seen by young eyes but take a look and enjoy

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.

A group of guys and girls check out an old murder scene in an abandoned animal slaughterhouse. Bet you don't know what will happen next, well unless you have even a minimal amount of slasher film knowledge. Lazy, derivative, cheap, bland, and worst of all boring, this pathetic film brings absolutely nothing new, or watchable, to the table. Terrible acting, pathetic special effects,It's not even worth the bandwidth I used up watching this horrid swill on Netflix and I feel really bad for those that actually shelled out money to watch it. Even the nudity that front loaded the beginning of the movie could save this one from the trash pile.

This has to be in the running for the worst of the worst. I'll put it this way- I can't even really comment on it because I'm speechless. Stay away- stay far away! The acting is so bad... you couldn't direct actors to intentionally be that bad. The script had to be written in a day with no rewrites. The lighting, the killer- every element of this one disgraces the horror genre. It has a slick box and DVD art so I guess this is a testament to the powers of marketing. That someone is making a dime off of this is astounding. I'm sure things can't get much worse. Seriously bad stuff! If Lion's Gate paid for this- they really have to rethink their policies.

I have never seen such a bad movie.... on the cover of the movie it says "better than the Texas chainsaw massacre... that's crap. this is a low budget(obviously) piece of crap. This movie is about some teenagers that go to this house that a guy is living in who is suppose to be dead... he then traps them and killes some of them....... not a bad plot line and story line...... but the way they did it it's like a 1970's stupid horror flick If anyone is thinking about buying this movie don't waste your money+time. I am so happy that I didn't pay for this movie, and I know thatt if anyone buys this movie they will regret it...

a lot..................................

The review that I saw of this movie from the guy from Australia I thought was way to harsh. I happen to love movies like this. These types of movies are the only reason besides soft core porn that cine-max is on TV and I don't see them going anywhere. I loved growing up watching horror movies like this. Your going to tell me that the classic slaughterhouse rock has the best special effects in history? No but it a movie that I love. I know that some people despise movies like this but in the same fashion as mom and dad save the world, I like this movie and a lot of people don't and thats fine. But there are some people out there that would kill for a movie like this.

This is painfully bad!! but watch when you are moderately inebriated and laugh at the outrageous continuity errors.(i wont point them out as most of the entertainment is in counting them (you will have to remove your socks to keep up with the count!!!) I have seen oak trees that are not as wooden as some of the characters in this film. I'm just glad i only paid a quid for this DVD (just for the case of course!! Seriously though - this is a truly execrable film, it contains some of the worst acting in the history of bad acting, even the rat was better than its human counterparts ( he was so good they played his scene several times (it was played back in reverse once though!)).
