Customer Reviews of Slaughterhouse
ONE OF MY FAVES! I won't bother going into the plot, it's all been said. I will say if you are a fan of 1980's horror, this is for you!
A fun film about a now defunct slaughterhouse owner, his interesting son (who can't talk, he only makes pig noises) and the people trying to get him to sell his slaughterhouse to a guy who's only interest is profits from selling bad pork.
The death scenes are good and sometimes very funny. The acting at times is very cliche' for 1980's, but still fun.
from Fringe Video Fanzine Issue #005
At first glance of the packaging I thought that this film might be another straight to video amateur quickie. After popping it in the DVD player and seeing the not very Vegitarian friendly beginning, I soon realized that this was the classic eighties slasher, that I have seen many times before. An OK story about a new high-tech mechanized pig farm that needs to expand to fulfil a large contract. They get some help from the city to foreclose on an existing, almost bankrupt slaughterhouse. This wouldn't be such a big deal except for the old man who owns the place and his very large hillbilly mute son Buddy [Joe Barton]. "...When businessmen (who will soon become giblets under Buddy's knife) make an offer for the scuzzy rundown place, the father and son refuse..." The stupid and dumb Buddy sqeals and gruts like a pig and wields a really cool looking cleaver which was used during promotion at various drive-ins throughout the USA. Borrowing ideas from films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) Young Buddy... ala' Leatherface kills all his dads enemies as well as a few teenage kids who venture into the Slaughterhouse to film a low budget horror film. High on intensity, yet low on gore, the movie is a good timepiece on eighties youth culture, with all the bad music to go along with it. The only disappointment with Slaughterhouse is that it ends with the typical eighties freeze frame ending. The DVD is loaded with extras including: The Making of Slaugherhouse, and an interesting featurette on the Financing and Distribution of Independent Horror Films. The movie is a bit above the average eighties slasher, and one which I was happy to enjoy one more time thanks to the fine people at www.programpower.com
This are being grand moviepicture to be watching.
I are liking the part were Butty is being dressed up like a sheriff with a sheriffs star and everything. I are wishing all bodys of people could be seeing this picture. This movie is funny because all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. I are having to go now.
