Review of The Slaughter (2006) by Aaron D — 09 May 2008

There is this girl that I work with who is basically the resident babe. All the guys think she's hot, me included. She is a really nice person and will talk to just about anyone. Anyway, her coolness factor went up a few notches when she let me borrow this movie.

She likes low-budget, horror B-movies and so do I. We like them because these movies are usually poorly put together and poorly acted which actually makes watching them an enjoyable experience. They are so bad, they are good.

This movie didn't disappoint. Each character was a caricture of every other horror flick. They were young and coed and usually off somewhere looking for a good time. You had the obligatory leader of the group, the nice and pure girl who will probably be the only survivor, the stupid and arrogant jock, the oversexed slut, the pothead, and the weird social outcast.

Along with a gready business man and his snobbish assistant, they unleash an evil she-demon bent on world domination. The movie starts out trying to be creepy and serious, but half way through the movie after almost everyone has bought the farm, the movie morphs into comedy.

The scenes and the dialog trys to be witty and I was half expecting an undead zombie to slip on a banana peel or someone get a pie in the face. This movie was basically crap, but as far as low budget garbage goes, I was actually a little entertained.

Even if I totally hated the movie, it would still make the attractive girl at work cool for liking the same stupid things that guys usually like.
