Slotherhouse is as crazy as you can get with a horror comedy, a rollercoaster that will have you laughing throughout. The film follows Alpha, a psychopathic sloth ripped from her natural home to be the mascot of a sorority. Initially loving the limelight and being the undisputed royal of the house and on social media, things take a dark turn. We get a bloodbath of silly deaths, all at the hands of this little sloth. From the start, you will find yourself laughing, thanks to likeable characters like Emily (Lisa Ambalavanar), Zenny (Bianca Beckles-Rose) and, of course, Alpha. Though it’s a horror comedy, it succeeds in focusing on deep topics like poaching and the toxic obsession of social media followers. In all, it’s a perfect mix of comedy, horror, and ethical messaging.

While it could have been a really cheap-looking, awful creature feature that relies on blood to stay interesting, it’s the complete opposite – it’s a near-masterpiece. You’ll find yourself hooked throughout as the story follows this murderous sloth taking out each girl, one at a time. But you’ll also find yourself sympathising with Alpha, as she’s just a creature who wants to return to her home in Panama, giving this film a depth you don’t usually see in horror comedies.

Slotherhouse should be on everyone’s radar. It’s the perfect film to put on at a party that will appeal to everyone, even your non-horror friends, and let’s be real, who doesn’t want to see a sloth go on a killing spree? Don’t miss out on this one; it deserves a whole lot of love.

SLOTHERHOUSE is available on Paramount+ and is released digitally on February 12th.
