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.

All the actual horror was either sick-out gore horror or sudden startle horror. There were copious amounts of nudity, blood, drug and alcohol use and sexual references (including a sex scene), and the F-bomb was dropped more often than loose change.
