La Mascotte

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 ...

I was sold on the trailer because sloth = cute!

That said..

+ everyone involved seemed to have a good time/tried their best + real puppet/animatronic sloth, no cgi + they know what kind of film this is but it never drifts into "Sharknado"-waters + little details, e.g. The name of the sisterhood spelling SLTH, the names of the former presidents being those of Disney princesses, "Halloween" & "Child's Play" homage

• way too long and meandering script
• the PG-13 REALLY hurt this film
• confusing direction in the montage & action scenes
• so many missed opportunities: Why not make a Freddy in the bathtub reference (sloths have claws!)? Show the sloth puppet more! We all know it's a puppet and we want to see that! Mire kills! Moore boobs!

If your selling point is a killer sloth then MAKE A BLOODY, NAUGHTY KILLER SLOTH MOVIE, ffs! This wasn't that bad but really unsatisfactory (The audience was hyped and laughed even through the trailers before the actual film. After approx. 30 mins NO ONE was laughing anymore).

I was reminded of how much better "Scream Queens" was the entire time.

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.

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.

This movie feels like it was filmed by a team of YouTubers. The writing, effects, and continuity are all pretty eh. But it's far from the worst film I've seen. Probably the best feature of the movie is the film score, although that also is borderline over done. The movie survives by playing off the dumb backstabbing sorority trope, while also coming off as a slightly better low budget national lampoon film. Not something to go a theatre for though. It comes off as goofy and fun, without falling to the level of Sharknado. I'd say it's a good watch if you don't have anything else on your list. TLDR: Low budget but fun.
