I bought this movie a while back while I was on a quest to find the crappiest horror movie... It's indeed crappy but not nearly as much as I tought it would be. I was maybe a bit generous giving it a 6 but still it was an half way decent no-budget movie that doesn't take itself seriously with a very funny ending... I admit, the acting was poor (on purpose maybe) and the story line made little sense (again on purpose maybe I wonder)... BUT if you go into it without any expectations and are able to enjoy ''the no-budget spoof of a spoof made by a bunch of friends'' type of movie you'll surely find something to enjoy in that joke of a film.

I honestly fail to see how any one could interpret anything in this movie as funny. I didn't laugh once, I wasn't scared once, and you don't give a damn if anyone survives. The antagonist through most of the film is a FUGLY she ghost and the only redeeming quality would have been if the main women of the film got nude for the camera - they don't. The opening scene has tits, but they're not even nice enough to be worth it. Dumbest effects I've ever seen. Horrible acting with CRAP dialogue. This movie is a complete and utter failure, you're time would be better spent plucking you're nose hair out little by little. How this garbage got ANY high reviews boggles the mind. Go watch Slumber Party Massacre or Evil Dead 2, Jeez.

I found "The Slaughter" to be an enjoyable viewing, and eons ahead of it's contemporaries... In an ocean of independent (no-budget) horror films, very few shells wash ashore that are worth picking up, but this one worked for me on a few different levels. The story, although we've seen it before, never seems to take itself too serious, which is so important when it comes to these type of films. I've watched far too many (no-budget) horror films that want to be smarter then it's audience, and it has yet to be proved successful... The acting appears to be much stronger then you will normally find in the (no-budget) genre, which always helps to sell the drama. And lastly, they really seem to have taken the time and effort to produce some quality makeup effects, which is almost NEVER seen in these type of films... On the down-side, the film could have done without some of the cheesy visual effects, which hampered the over-all value of the film. (The ghost hands coming out of the floor seemed quite laughable when it shouldn't have, and some of the fat could have been trimmed off the story...) BUT... All in all, "The Slaughter" was an enjoyable effort and worth a viewing for anyone looking for a bit more out of the (no-budget) horror genre.

I really like this movie. Some of the effects are simply crappy, true. The zombies themselves, though, do look decent. And the dialogs are pretty funny if you're into that kind of humor. If you don't think it shows humor that the heroes ponder whether they're dealing with classical "Romero" zombies or the new viral "sports" zombie type, then this movie is not for you. Otherwise, you're probably going to have some good laughs in this movie. I had. Other than the gags, the dialogs are surprisingly good for a B-movie and witty throughout, the actors aren't as bad as I had expected either. And the ultra-bad CG effects somehow aren't that distracting, they somewhat add to the feeling of watching a comedy, willingly or unwillingly, I don't know.Worth a rent.
