The Slaughter

    Every once in a while, in my extensive movie browsing, I come across a movie that it so utter terrible... that it's good. The Slaughter is a perfect example of this. For what appears to be an indie film with a cast of complete B movie material, this movie somehow finds a way to entertain me.
   
    The Slaughter is a poorly written B movie at best. The story isn't bad, but the plot is full of holes and fairly predictable once you get beyond the shallow character development. The dialogue is unnatural and completely forced. The acting does nothing to help this, as all the actors are awkward and impossible to take seriously. Even the characters themselves are shallow and two dimensional. The writers only saving grace is the occasional quote that makes you chuckle.

    Now, for most B horror movies, the movie is made by the special effects more so than the
plot or acting. Well, apparently no one told the crew of The Slaughter that. There was plenty of gore; however all of it was BLATANTLY fake. At one point, there was a character who had his guts hanging out of his mouth... which looked more like he had pasta hanging from his mouth. The copious amounts of blood looked more like copious amounts of red kool-aid. Even the CGI was obvious and not very well done at all.

    This movie was absurd, poorly written, poorly executed, and flagrantly fake. You won't find yourself enthralled or terrified unless you've yet to reach puberty. And even then, I wouldn't recommend it for the excessive amounts of nudity and drug references.

    My final rating is: 4.8 out of 10. While it wasn't a quality movie, I found it to at least be an entertaining waste of time. I would recommend watching it if you find yourself with nothing else to do or watch.
