Dartherer I really don't get the hype.

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Woodyanders Six college students get a job cleaning up a rundown old abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. The group find themselves in considerable jeopardy after they stumble across an ancient spell book and accidentally awaken a bloodthirsty she demon (Adriana Mejia in gnarly make-up) from its many decades of slumber so it can wreak havoc on the living.Writer/director Jay Lee delivers a satisfying smattering of tasty gratuitous female nudity, a smidgen of strenuous sex, oodles of tacky, yet grisly in-your-face splatter, and an amusing sense of sharp'n'sarcastic humor to ensure that this blithely inane opus remains enjoyable from start to finish. Moreover, the silly and derivative story not only happily rips off everything from "The Evil Dead" to "Night of the Demons," but also is rife with such howlers as a nude distaff spirit who's clearly wearing panties in a few shots and the uproarious fact that the so-called clean-up crew are never seen picking up a single broom or dust rag in order to do the work that they were hired to do. The acceptable acting from the competent no-name cast further keeps this picture on track: Jessica Custodio as the sassy Dana, Zack Kilberg as the likable Iggy, Terry Eriosky as irritating brainiac jerk Tyler, Billy Beck as zonked-out pothead Razz, Laura Bach as saucy tease Heather, Travis Wood as obnoxious and abrasive toolbag Brandon, Jen Alex as the bitchy Alexandra, and Brad Milne as overbearing jerk new owner Carl Stevens. The (not so) special effects are decidedly shoddy, yet still funky just the same. Both Lee's slick'n'stylish cinematography and Chauncey Mahan's shuddery ooga-booga score are up to speed. Fun trash.

jenbalotar I bet my money for this because i thought this will be a very bloody brilliant film but i was wrong. Now my last budget for buying films was wasted. the only good thing about this is the monstrous make-up. That's the only thing i liked in this movie. The rest... the actors are like beginners, nothing scary, the graphics are obviously fake... very unrealistic. This will go to the worst movies i bought. This made me feel sleepy too. So just watched it fast-forward x2. But a good start for a starting directors and actors in the film industry. Lots of improvements needed, can be done if you have a high budget. Not even a bit scary except the make up, that's a little scary. Awkward acting is present too.

Scarecrow-88 A group gather together to clean up a house to be put on the market, which has a dark history as we see at the opening of Jay Lee's THE SLAUGHTER(many will know Jay Lee from his more familiar film, ZOMBIE STRIPPERS!). Brad Milne is the "capitalist pig", Carl Stevens, always fooling with a Cuban cigar, the businessman demanding the young adults cleaning up his property to do a thorough job(he's simply here as a hissable cretin who barks orders and expects results). Tyler(Terry Erioski)and his adopted brother Iggy(Zak Kilberg), with Tyler's girlfriend, Dana(Jessica Custodio)are in charge of the clean up. Along for the clean up is Dana's friend, Heather(smokin' blond Laura Bach), her arrogant jock boyfriend Brandon(Travis Wood), and pothead Razz(Billy Beck). These are the characters who will assemble and become the targets of a "hell spun succubus"(Adriana Esquivel, easily the best thing about this movie; you sure see why victims would fall prey to her)awakened by accident while Heather and Brandon are having sex. The house is the epicenter for demonic activity because it is located over unholy ground. In order to be released to terrorize mankind, the succubus needs to secure the "ultimate sacrifice".With grating characters, rancid computer effects, and a goofy plot, it will take a certain kind of horror fans to appreciate this junk. For some reason, obviously because Lee is a zombie fan, he has murdered victims arise through a spell, soulless creatures to do the succubus' bidding, for flesheating purposes(including a scene where it's debated what kind of zombie one of the characters is and how to kill it). Some of the supernatural murder sequences defy specific explanation..the use of turpentine to burn a victim alive, how flesh is removed from a face, and how another victim is "curled" into a box spitting out his guts, are all examples of the bizarre deaths in the movie at the hands of the succubus. I will say that some of the make-up isn't so shabby, particularly the burnt face and a pale ghoul with shark-like teeth. I think the last twenty minutes, where Lee opts for his characters to crack wise despite all hell breaking loose, with their own demise on the horizon, was a bad decision, but he clearly was aiming for tongue-in-cheek(I found the humor groan-inducing, but others might enjoy the comedy). I just found the response to all their comrade's dying around them, now in a "walking dead" state, to be preposterous. How everything seems like a joke, it's hard to imagine losing your brother or boyfriend and not breaking down or, at the very least, showing anger or sadness. Call me a party pooper, but if those I've known all my life are being annihilated in heinous fashion, I might respond a little differently than tossing out bad quips. For character development, Iggy is a passionately vocal socialist with anti-capitalist rhetoric while Carl's businessman is an over the top caricature representing greed and power at it's worst. Tyler seems to be one of the few to have a good head on his shoulders, which may be why he's the leader of this group of misfits. Heather is the lusty babe who is attracted to assertive men. Brandon is the annoying muscled prick who's actually a pussy when danger rears it's ugly head. Razz is just the usual stoner who likes to ride in the trunk of a car(!) and smoke his dope in peace. As I mentioned already, Esquivel, as the sexy succubus, makes for a strikingly seductive demon. I think a more serious approach could've worked wonders, but the silly antics which evolve over time, I felt, sink this turkey.

badmoviessux 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....
