The Slaughter (2006)

Very best movie i ever watch

Pretty Good

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Six college students get a job cleaning up a rundown old abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. The group find themselves in considerable jeopardy after they stumble across an ancient spell book and accidentally awaken a bloodthirsty she demon (Adriana Mejia in gnarly make-up) from its many decades of slumber so it can wreak havoc on the living.Writer/director Jay Lee delivers a satisfying smattering of tasty gratuitous female nudity, a smidgen of strenuous sex, oodles of tacky, yet grisly in-your-face splatter, and an amusing sense of sharp'n'sarcastic humor to ensure that this blithely inane opus remains enjoyable from start to finish. Moreover, the silly and derivative story not only happily rips off everything from "The Evil Dead" to "Night of the Demons," but also is rife with such howlers as a nude distaff spirit who's clearly wearing panties in a few shots and the uproarious fact that the so-called clean-up crew are never seen picking up a single broom or dust rag in order to do the work that they were hired to do. The acceptable acting from the competent no-name cast further keeps this picture on track: Jessica Custodio as the sassy Dana, Zack Kilberg as the likable Iggy, Terry Eriosky as irritating brainiac jerk Tyler, Billy Beck as zonked-out pothead Razz, Laura Bach as saucy tease Heather, Travis Wood as obnoxious and abrasive toolbag Brandon, Jen Alex as the bitchy Alexandra, and Brad Milne as overbearing jerk new owner Carl Stevens. The (not so) special effects are decidedly shoddy, yet still funky just the same. Both Lee's slick'n'stylish cinematography and Chauncey Mahan's shuddery ooga-booga score are up to speed. Fun trash.

I bet my money for this because i thought this will be a very bloody brilliant film but i was wrong. Now my last budget for buying films was wasted. the only good thing about this is the monstrous make-up. That's the only thing i liked in this movie. The rest... the actors are like beginners, nothing scary, the graphics are obviously fake... very unrealistic. This will go to the worst movies i bought. This made me feel sleepy too. So just watched it fast-forward x2. But a good start for a starting directors and actors in the film industry. Lots of improvements needed, can be done if you have a high budget. Not even a bit scary except the make up, that's a little scary. Awkward acting is present too.

I bought this movie a while back while I was on a quest to find the crappiest horror movie... It's indeed crappy but not nearly as much as I tought it would be. I was maybe a bit generous giving it a 6 but still it was an half way decent no-budget movie that doesn't take itself seriously with a very funny ending... I admit, the acting was poor (on purpose maybe) and the story line made little sense (again on purpose maybe I wonder)... BUT if you go into it without any expectations and are able to enjoy ''the no-budget spoof of a spoof made by a bunch of friends'' type of movie you'll surely find something to enjoy in that joke of a film.

This movie is really something a group of 12 yr olds would film. Being a lover of horror movies, this movie actually shows me the meaning of "horrible". The acting is bad, the plot is worse.Everything is fine up to the part where the four people died of the four elements, Water, Fire, Air and Earth. None of these have any sense in them.Water - Heather only died when she was pulled under water the second time. How ridiculous is this? The demon is an ancient demon, bend on taking over the world with her evil sorcery powers, would she give anyone a second chance? Worse of all, on the second time when Heather was pulled in, she showed absolutely no emotions as the demon tugged at her leg. Amateur acting.Fire - If you people can remember, Tyler actually saw all the fuel rising to the roof of the basement. Anybody would have ran or back off after a few second, and what did he do? Continue staring till he got burnt. Really disgusting acting.Air - Brandon actually did better with his fear when he saw the demon, but its the plot that kills. Who would climb up a chute when a demon is screaming in front of you? The plot for this is terrible.Earth - While this guy is smoking his weed, he saw the demon and thought it was hallucination. That was OK until the demon disappeared into the ground. And he did what most movie does, looked real closed at the hole. When he stood up and got pulled by the hand, a close look reveals that he did not even struggle. He just try to shake the demon off. Its a demon for God Sake! Not a dog biting on his pants! They tried to pull off a Shaun Of The Dead comedy while tackling with the zombie of Carl. They can never succeed in that with their mediocre acting! If the actors and actresses are better ones, this scene would have been the highlight. This is one of the scenes that killed the movie.Lastly,Dana in the final "spell" room scene is extremely bad. How can one negotiate with a demon, while her friend(Iggy) is struggling to keep all the zombies out?! This is the plot's matter again, and if a good horror movie director have seen the script with this scene, he would have torn the papers to shreds.This movie would have gotten a single star from me if not for Iggy's explanation about the demon and its origin. A detailed explanation is needed for a movie on ancient demons and ghouls, and Iggy pulled it off. Other than that, this movie is simply not up to the standard.
