Perezoso amoroso

No pun intended - also this has more shades of Chucky (childs or rather animal play then) ... so not trying to compare it to the classic. There is the scene of course which may remind you of the Here comes Johnnie quote ... other than that, this is just silly fun.

Suspend your disbelief and just go with the flow. Beautiful (mostly) girls being the one dimensional sorority girls (cliches) you imagine. The sloth is the main attraction here (no pun intended either) ... and the way it moves or jumps or even ... well runs! There are many scenes that do not make sense ... but if you are a fan of the animatronic (of the puppet effects), you will like what the movie is doing ... a lot of violence and blood ... and I reckon some social commentary about ... social media and all that stuff ... again, do not overthink it ... the sloth might get you if you do ...

Apparently movie's creator wanted to make the dumbest thing he can imagine.

Well, congratulations.

Is it dumb? Yes.

Is it fun? No.

Is it bad-good? No.

It's supposed to be a parody or something but it's just bad. Acting is bad, there wasn't one single funny bit. Maybe it was better on paper but not in reality. Script is also bad and unfunny.

Main problem is lack of imagination, just being random and stupid is not enough.

I seriously have flashbacks to Zombeavers, another not funny just bad movie you shouldn't watch. Just like you shouldn't watch this. It looks like it could be fun but in actuality isn't.

If a movie called Slotherhouse sounds good to you, you should check it out. The jokes may not land all the time, and it being PG-13 was very frustrating due to there being hardly any blood/gore.

Yet, at the end of the movie I was smiling and rooting for our leads. There is some very acceptable character work here that is done in a way that seems cheesy and odd, but on brand to the style of the movie.

Not perfect, but definitely a memorable flick that delivers funny sloth antics. Just wish there was more to the kills. The movie seems to really shove the kills to the side in a few scenes. Not sure if this is due to budget or trying to acquire a PG-13 rating- or both.

I had never heard about this 2023 horror comedy titled "Slotherhouse" prior to sitting down to watch it. But I have to admit that seeing the movie's cover, the movie's title and the synopsis, then I was rather interested in watching the movie.

Turns out that writers Bradley Fowler and Cady Lanigan delivered a really entertaining and enjoyable script and storyline for the movie. And it turned out to be a rather enjoyable and refreshing take on the slasher genre, well, with a ferocious sloth thrown into the mix. And it worked quite well. I was genuinely and wholeheartedly entertained throughout the course of the entire 93 minutes that the movie ran for.

The acting performances in "Slotherhouse" were good. I wasn't familiar with a single performer on the cast list though, neither actress or actor. And that was something I liked about it, because it is always nice to see new talents on the screen. They had a great cast ensemble together for the movie, and the carried the movie quite nicely with their performances.

There is a good amount of comedy mixed in with the slasher horror elements. And that was something that director Matthew Goodhue managed to balance quite nicely. The comedy elements never become too much, so the movie doesn't become a full-blown comedy.

Something that really was great about "Slotherhouse" was the sloth named Alpha. Talk about a fun character. The sloth was very likable, despite its killing demeanor and ferocious nature. It looked good and it was actually bringing a lot of charm to the screen, because the puppeteers managed to give the sloth so much character, personality and traits that Alpha was a character right up alongside all the actresses on the screen. Plus the fact that the sloth ensured a great many laughs as well throughout the course of the 93 minutes runtime also helped to make it a memorable character. I would say that Alpha actually makes the movie watchable by itself.

I was genuinely entertained by "Slotherhouse", and there wasn't a single dull moment throughout the entire movie. If you enjoy horror comedies, then "Slotherhouse" from director Matthew Goodhue is well-worth sitting down and watching. This is certainly a movie that I warmly recommend.

My rating of "Slotherhouse" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

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!
