This murderous sloth is the antagonist of a new horror movie

If you thought until then that a sloth was an adorable animal with a slower pace of life, you are not at the end of your surprises.There are two types of horror movies: those that take themselves too seriously and those that prefer to play with the absurd.The second category much more fun offers a new unexpected nugget.A sloth turned mascot is suddenly seized with murderous impulses and intends to give a whole group of young people a nightmare.This is the synopsis of Slotherhousea film with a clever title, borrowed from the English words slaughterhouse (slaughterhouse) and sloth (lazy)

Following the success of Cocaine Bear (renamed crazy bear in our green regions) as well as the horror film adaptation of Winnie the Pooh, the film industry is now ready for all possible mixtures for its horrific productions.The first trailer promises a kitsch feature film as possible, enough to mark pop culture and become a true classic.As Scary Movie in his days, Slotherhouse could well establish itself at the rank of meme.

A retro puppet of the most beautiful effect

The horror film goes to the end of its intentions and does not hesitate to offer visual effects worthy of the greatest films of the time.No question of using synthetic images, the little bloodthirsty creature is a very real puppet.In this way, Slotherhouse avoids special effects below current standards for lack of budget, and benefits at the same time from an almost retro style and atmosphere.Because this production is above all an independent production, written and directed by Bradley Fowler and Matthew Goodhue, newcomers to the industry looking to make their mark.

For now, let’s just say that their efforts are paying off: the trailer is hilarious and promises a hell of a show for a movie night with friends.It is at the heart of an American sorority that is so representative of the clichés that the sloth suddenly becomes a mascot for this group of young women.Only, the animal is not the cute and exotic creature that the students hoped for.This sloth is an alpha ready to do anything to establish its dominance, there is no question of it being reduced to the rank of a simple ostentatious mascot.

The horror-comedy will hit US theaters next August 30. If this cinematic UFO catches your eye, you will certainly have to wait for its digital release.The project does not seem to aspire to an international release.Who knows, maybe a streaming platform will take over the work to surf the buzz and export it to us.
