I liked this movie. You know the actors, the story, the script... none is this is a "6", not even close. Really really weak. But in the end, all put together, you have an entertaining movie. A real horror guts blood brains movie. I give it a 6 because they don't expect to be a master-piece, not even a good movie. They realize their own limitations (like i said, actors, story... and so one) so they adapted the movie to that limitations. It's simple, straight, full of clichés, but in the end it really works. When i started to see the movie i never expected anything, so i was surprised to have a smile in my face in the end. One of the best B-Movie.

It looks like a generic boilerplate teen/college horror slasher-- but it's got a sense of style. Some reviewers have a quip about ill-timed humor-- but I would attribute that to people going into a movie expecting humor and then being disappointed because they weren't shown an out and out comedy.The characters are not quite generic, but go for the average work-a-day young adult/college kids. It's the situation they find themselves in that makes this movie work differently from the others. And I find the acting to be VERY GOOD. Good Acting is what makes me continue to watch this horror flick.The central Horror of the show is not over the top-- but very good for the storyline and the the budget they had.The funny happens here and there and some of it is deft scene placement. And yes, some of the lines were obvious joke-lines, but what good B-Splatter flick ever really takes itself THAT seriously?!?! This is why we watch them: a bucket of blood, some good splats, a scream here & there interspersed with some good chuckles.This isn't Horror Gold-- but it has some truly great moments, decent Splatter and good tension build-up with on-edge characters.If you've nothing lined up for a Saturday night, pull this one off the stream list. You will be entertained

Don't plan on Citizen Kane. It really is a blend of Shaun of Dead and Evil Dead. The advantage is - it has awesome nudity - if that's your thing. From about 10 minutes in to 50, its pretty bad, but the opening and the final are great. well worth a viewing. If you're not expecting a lot of quality throughout - you will not be disappointed. Like i said, the last 15-20 minutes are really funny though. There's a great debate about the old school zombies versus new zombies that i thought was very Scream like and funny. Also a wonderful dialogue about 1:20 between the brother and sister that is reminiscent Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson.

Don't buy this movie. Don't rent this movie. Don't borrow this movie. Don't watch this movie for free on television. Just don't watch this movie at all. Period. (But if you did buy it, mark it up and sell it to someone you don't like.) What's so bad about "The Slaughter"? (1) The "acting". Is it possible to act without moving your lips?...No. But that doesn't stop the "actors". (2) The "horror". (See number 5.) (3) The "comedy". (Clowns are funnier...and clowns really aren't that funny.) (4) The "effects". It is amazing what $2.33 and silicone can't do. (5) The demon/witch women who had silicone boobs in the "ancient times".You have been warned....
