There have only been a few times when I truly have been in disbelief over what I’m seeing on screeen; for example, the portals scene in Avengers: Endgame, or all of the actors they got to reprise roles from years ago for Spider-Man: No Way Home.
And now, Slotherhouse.
Now, is this script good? Not by a longshot. Is the acting good? Nope - abysmal. This is, by all accounts, a terrible movie. A murderous and inexplicably literate sloth (that survives more violence than Michael Meyers does in the original Halloween) operates a computer, a motor vehicle, runs a social media account and wields a sword while terrorizing a sorority house. Characters seem to teleport between scenes, and for a supposed slasher movie, the kills are very tame. This movie is a mess.
And yet, I can’t help but recommend it. Purely for the ludicrous but entertaining (and maybe camp?) nature of what I just sat through. This is probably best in a group setting where everyone knows exactly what they’re getting into and is ready to just go with it. I think it’s worth a spot on your October watchlist!
