From the beginning, you know it's going to be bad. The sloth clearly looks like an animatronic Jim Henson reject. Once you get past that, let the silliness commence. I am absolutely tired of rated R comedy horrors that are neither comedy or horror. They are just filled with foul language and soft *, and offer little else. It's nice to see a PG-13 movie of this genre come out swinging with a fresh and absurd perspective. You will find yourself wondering what this little sloth will be capable of next. You will wonder what way this little sloth will murder its next victim. Just remember that you have to take off your serious hat and enjoy a silly horror movie.

This was probably one of the funniest spoof horror movies I have ever seen. All very tongue in cheek with WAY OVER the top scenes and situations. There is no logic in any of it, but that is the point! You just let go and laugh. Now, I have to admit that every once in a while, you will let out a groan at some of the things that happen, just like with a really corny pun, but once again that is the whole point! The film makes fun of the plots of low budget horror movies, rich mean girls and the ever popular airhead sorority types. Don't try to analyze it, understand it, critique it or search for its deeper meaning. Just back and enjoy the ride because you will be laughing all the way!

Must watch

All the hate is definitely coming from your "quality taste" horror fans! This movie knew exactly what it was and it rolled with it and it's killed! Unlike most movies today using copious amounts of cgi it decided to go the practical route. Using a doll or animatronic it went with the Chucky approach and if you love practical affects stupid but not too stupid comedy and a plot that you can watch baker outta your mind then this is your movie. Maybe it's just me but I love comedy horror that doesn't require me to have to think how point A fits to point B! As long as you have comedy that makes me laugh and doesn't feel forced and kills whether it's shown or off camera then you've got me hook line and sinker! I'm sure I'm rating this a bit too high at the moment but I can assure this won't drop below a 7/10 after my second watch. Take the movie for what it is and enjoy it!

Slotherhouse is quite an ok experience, with funny dialogue, nicely written characters and a length of 1 hour and 33 minutes for a movie that overall, doesn't feel too much like..a movie. The problem for me, was the sloth itself. You see, they gave him complete freedom as a killer, being able to do anything that a human does, so because of this I never got the purpose of the animal pick. Yes, they do mention that it is a lesson to leave wild animals in the wild, but I swear, if the killer here was human, this would have been a cute little slasher that worked. I genuinely believe that if you are high, you can appreciate it a lot more. It doesn't fall in the same category as Cocaine Bear, neither with The Gingerdead Man, somewhere in the middle, trying to be its own thing, but only partially succeeding. All in all, for a one time view, you could do a lot worse. Slotherhouse is more of an experience, because it feels so different than the regular horror comedy productions, so it takes some getting used to it. Cheers!

I knew that Slotherhouse was going to be train-wreck of a film, hopefully in a good way. The trailer looked funny, and who doesn't love sloths? This film definitely had its moments, the best part being Alpha the sloth, who steals the show and in my case I was definitely team Alpha. However, the film started to drag on way too long and I started to yawn and it was losing my attention rather quickly. I had to stop the impulse to skim through the rest of the film. I managed to hang in there, but just. I think they just dragged it on way too long and they should have made the kills gorier for entertainment purposes. If you like spoof films, then you should enjoy it.
