Slotherhouse

There’s not a lot to say about this one, because the title does the heavy lifting. It’s an intentionally preposterous horror-comedy about a killer sloth in a sorority house. That title either sells you or pushes you away. There is no in between. It’s not gonna win awards for acting or script, it absolutely will not stand up to logical scrutiny, and being PG-13, it won’t satisfy the gore hounds. But it’s also intentionally unambitious. The creators literally said they wanted to make a horror-comedy movie with the most ridiculous concept they could conceive, and they succeeded in that regard. I had a lot of fun with it, because I could see the cast and crew had fun with it. There’s not a cynical bone in this movie’s body. What you see is what you get here. Whether you think the idea sounds like dumb fun or just dumb, chances are you’re right.
