Review – The Slaughter

I actually kinda wanted to like this movie. Sure, the story was standard college-students-in-a-creepy-old-house-accidentally-evoke-evil-forces stuff. But thanks to the special effects, the production came across as more of an homage to Evil Dead than just another rip-off. I honestly can’t say when I last saw stop motion work in a low-budget production, so that was a welcome element. Less so the script, which was packed with that awful species of smart-assery so strongly favored by talentless film students who think they’re being funny. With better writing, this could have earned a higher rating. Mildly amusing
