Slaughterhouse Rulez

Why... Why would Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Michael Sheen participate in this? I feel utterly baited. It was a disgustingly bad movie with horrendous child actors. The story was botched and the monsters were uninspired and dull. I don't think anyone with any sense of humor would classify this as a comedy or a parody or anything remotely funny. It is beyond me how Crispian Mills could have created ...this AND A Fantastic Fear of Everything.

Slaughterhouse Rulez boasts an impressive cast for what is essentially a glorified B-movie. The first half is loaded with anti-fracking rhetoric while the second half replaces all that with a lot of running around. I liked the almost incomprehensible northern protagonist, and enjoyed most of the characters and dialogue. There wasn’t much to actively dislike in this film, though it doesn’t leave a lasting impression, perphaps because it borrows so heavily from so many other films.

A completely uneven mess of a movie, and such a shame when so many of the adult cast are capable of so much better. Though notably flawed, I had a lot of time for Crispian Mills' previous 'A Fantastic Fear of Everything' and hoped his next would see him grow as a filmmaker but this was just at best mediocre and at worst directionless, with so many scenes and characters utterly pointless to what played out.

Wants to be If. This is so obvious they even show a poster of Malcolm McDowell, as if to comfort us with a reminder that this plot CAN be done well . Also wants to be Shaun of the Dead. This is obvious in the stunt casting of Sheen, Pegg and Frost. Sadly, doesn't have the balls, the humour, the characters, the lead actors or the CGI (oh GOD, the CGI) to pull off either, never mind both.

Horrendous, and I'm ashamed to say I instantly recognised Stowe from school away matches of my youth.

I've waited like an hour before giving my points because I was about to give this a 100. Watching something in Edgar Wright's style with Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and holy sh*t Asa that's a huge progress. This place wouldn't be enough for the things I liked so I will tell you from where I'm taking the only 1 point out; It's just not an Interstellar or Sin City. That's all. There's nothing else is bad about this movie.

[Streaming this is fine] This feels like a high-budget indy film--in a good way. Up until the third act I had no idea what kind of movie this was trying to be, but I didn't really care because it was just fun being in the moment. This isn't high art, it's not Hollywood amazing, and it's probably not going to make it to America. It is, however, a comedy-horror that doesn't take itself seriously and is fun the whole way through.

Pretty funny comedy horror

Maybe the reason this isn't funny is because of me. Maybe this is 'rofl' comedic brilliance. Maybe I'm the problem.

worth a watch

LOTS of acid + Peter Pan syndrome + filmmaking = a really fucked up film that will only be enjoyable for a very specific type of person. I imagine Crispian climbing trees in the shire on a sunny summer's day on acid while recording this busy, chaotic mess into his assistant's tape recorder. It's like watching someone else's awful acid trip. Unlike Fear and Loathing (which kind of matches that description), Slaughterhouse is simply too juvenile, humorless, absurd, dull and gratuitously gory.

The overt attempts at genre comedy are very easy to spot. This movie does not attempt to be subtle and that's why it works from almost every aspect. It's in your voice, the first half a farce to show the dread of boarding school and tries to tie real people to a surreal and unbelievable situation. It works thanks to great performances from Pegg, Butterfield, Cole, Frost and Corfield.It could have used one attempt at a twist to send it over the edge but it was still wildly entertaining regardless
