Slaughtered

I've never reviewed something this bad, I can't even put into words the way this bit of vomit unfolds. It's like every single person did the exact opposite of what a normal human would do if put into their shoes. I know horror films have a legacy of that but in the case here it was done practically every second of the film. I've seen well over a 1000 horror films and never have I been so irritated with the plot, the acting & especially the decision making. I knew who the killer was right away by certain reactions to the initial crime scene, a blind person could have deducted that. Nothing makes sense, my frustration couldn't have been higher. I should burn copies & send them to all my enemies, maybe ship a sh!t load to Al Qaeda !!!!!! If you're looking to get ticked off & irritated then I recommend this to you

Waiters in an Australian pub get sliced and diced by a masked killer while the patrons refuse to go away. This sounds stupid and it certainly is, but I'll give the director credit for making half a movie without a script.

As far as slashers go, this holds few to no surprises, except for the setting (the pub). Glover knows her classics and fits in a Crazy Joe among the patrons, who warns the waiters that they're all doomed. For whatever reason, the manager decides to lock the doors of the pub after the first killing and the waiters have to evade the maniac from within the premises, without alerting the customers. On more than a few occasions, one of the waiter/resses witnesses a murder, comes back to the bar hysterical...and somehow resumes work. Most slashers requires a huge suspension of disbelief to work, but this one takes the cake.

The acting is passable and the budget is low, but somehow, Glover delivers the goods and trusses up a moderately tense 80 minutes, while incorporating borderline-absurd humour into the format. Not too much, fortunately. As for the maniac, don't look for any motive other than wearing that dashing black robe and dead-skin mask.

What is it with women directing cheap slashers? First I sat through Stacy Davidson's SWEATSHOP, and now comes Kate Glover's SLAUGHTERED, an Aussie variant on a tired theme. Once again, a bunch of characters find themselves trapped in an old rural location (this time, it's a pub, which is somewhat inevitable given the country of production) and are hunted down and killed one by one by a masked villain.

It's predictable stuff indeed, although marginally better than SWEATSHOP, because it doesn't have to rely on extreme gore to get by. The pacing is a lot better, for instance, and there are attempts at suspense sequences. Unfortunately the characters are still very unlikeable and the script is sub-par, leaving this a chore for viewers to sit through. Still, the villain looks pretty good...

Not a bad film at all,honestly the film is original, I think it's creative, it depends on what exactly your looking for and how hard of a critic you are. I enjoy the film,it has good killing/murder scene's. I guess the motive for the killer would be that he was a pure psycho with just wanting to commit murders and hurt people.the story line wasn't bad either,I'd say with even more money put into the movie,with it also being longer then Slaughtered could of been something greater.if you are into watching all kinds of films including indie films and b rated movies, then this may interest you.the killer was additionally deceiving with an eagerness to commit random acts of violence.

I cannot fathom how this went to print with so many bad plots going on at once. The plot is tangled and confusing, there are scenes that add nothing to the storyline, and the dialog is clumsy and silly. The idea of someone murdering people and everyone just going about their evening instead of throwing a chair through the window or breaking the front door down is beyond dumb, it's impractical even by horror genre standards.
