This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
... View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

... View MoreIt is majorly flawed, I'll admit. But yet I fairly enjoyed watching it... I am not a fan of low-budget horrors, but this is nowhere near the worst. With fine tuning it could have been much better, but felt the essence was there. There is no storyline (what a surprise), but just remember most horrors are re-gurgitated anyway; however there's enough nudity to get through it. To put another way (analogy), it's like buying a scratchcard, winning, but only getting your money back - perhaps you'd feel a bit short changed, but it could be worse...
... View MoreThe people who made The Slaughterhouse Massacre should be embarrassed. The folks who distributed it should be ashamed. It has a decent amount of female nudity in the first 15 minutes, but there is not another damn thing in the entire production that could be of value or interest to anyone. There are movies that are bad and some that are so bad they're good. Then there are films like this which are so bad they outlast and exhaust any capacity for irony, mockery or amusement. It just freakin' stinks.As you might guess, this story is about a group of teenagers who get massacred in a slaughterhouse. That's all I'm going to say about the plot because in writing that single sentence, I've already wasted more intelligence reviewing this movie than writer/director Paul Gagné used to make it. If an infinite number of monkeys banging away on an infinite number of typewriters will eventually produce the works of William Shakespeare, one monkey and one typewriter could come up with the script for The Slaughterhouse Massacre but only if that monkey had brain damage from a case of Mad Cow Disease. Then six weeks after that monkey died, you could toss its rotting corpse onto the set and it would have done a better directing job than Gagné. Every single element of this film, except the aforementioned female nudity, is utterly putrid.Here's what Gagné's cinematic bowel movement has to offer.1. The awesome terror generated by hand-held video footage of the backs of people's heads.2. Editing like the outbursts of someone with Tourettes' Syndrome.3. Action scenes staged like something out of that lame haunted house the Rotary Club puts on every Halloween.4. An appearance of The Cone of Silence from the old "Get Smart" TV show.5. CGI that looks like it was created with a Commodore 64.6. Characters who use flashlights even though the lights are on.7. Not one, not two, not three, but an unbelievable 4 origins for the killer.8. The most ridiculous anti-marijuana message since Reefer Madness.9. This crap is set in Texas but the only character with a noticeable accent sounds like he's from Georgia.10. A scene where it literally takes the characters 3 minutes to walk across a 20 foot wide room. I'm not kidding. Nothing happens in the scene, it just takes them 3 minutes to walk across a room.Look, if you want to see some naked chicks, there are plenty of other places where that can be found. If you want to watch a sucky, low-budget slasher flick, there are hundreds of them out there and almost all of them are Citizen Kane compared to The Slaughterhouse Massacre. If you watch this movie, you're a fool. If you like it, you're a moron.
... View Morethis film by far has been the worst one i have watched all year. i have just finished watching it and it was terrible. the special effects were rubbish, the acting was diabolical and the way it was shot was shocking. the only reason why it was an 18 was because of all the scattered breasts at the start of the film. i looked at the case of the film thinking I'm in for a good horror film and then this load of rubbish started to play. me and my friends were watching and laughing at how corny some of the lines. it was utterly predictable you knew who was going to die and who was going to make it. they say never judge a book by its cover, well they were so right with this film, from the case it looked like a good film and then it started to play. do not watch it.
... View MoreThere are a whole lot better things to spend your money on and this should not be one of them.This is about as bad as it gets. Everything was horrible: music,acting,villain,"legend".The only good thing were the hot girls in the movie and some T&A, thats it. This film is full of dumb clichés and and cheesy lines. The villain looked like some small pox carrying bum. Way too many things were wrong with this movie and I don't know of anyone who would actually like this movie.Video stores should ban this movie from their selections and just burn whatever copies are left in this world.It should have never seen the light of day.
