This summer has seen some truly epic and rather terrible movies come to a cinema near you. While Barbie dominates and Indiana Jones flops if you’re after even sillier viewing then you’re in luck. If the Sharknado theatrical release wasn’t enough then keep an eye out for Slotherhouse at the end of August.

In classic horror-comedy style, Slotherhouse puts an unlikely creature in the central role of a murderous animal; a sloth. These normally placid – and very slow-moving – creatures might not seem likely killers. But when has that ever stopped movie makers from working their magic?

Slow and steady

“It’s senior year of college for sorority sister Emily Young and for the first time ever, Sigma Lambda Theta is having elections for who will be president. Wanting to have a killer year, Emily Young realizes she might just be the best option for her sorority,” the synopsis explains.

“While beginning her campaign, she finds an adorable sloth that steals her heart and soon realizes she just might steal the hearts, and votes, of her sorority sisters. But when bodies slowly begin to pile up in the Sigma Lambda Theta house, Emily and her sorority sisters realize the deaths are being caused by their new house mascot, the cuddly sloth Alpha. Will Emily and her sisters escape the house with their lives? Or is this death-sloth with 3 razor-sharp claws too quick for them?”

Directed by Matthew Goodhue, Slotherhouse stars Lisa Ambalavanar, Sydney Craven, Olivia Rouyre, Bianca Beckles-Rose, Andrew Horton, Sutter Nolan, Milica Vrzić, Annamaria Serda, Rudi Rok and Grace Patterson.

Slotherhouse is set to be released in cinemas on 30th August 2023 in the US.

Looking forward to the horror-comedy, or is it just too daft? Maybe you prefer your horror films with some realism, like in the new Saw X trailer.
