""Slaughter," is a very interesting and intriguing movie. The movie is about Faith, a young woman who is trying to rebuild her life after abruptly leaving her abusive boyfriend. To elude her abuser, Faith moves out of town, changes her phone number, and distances herself from her friends. During this transition, she meets Lola, a seemingly innocent small town girl. Faith quickly befriends Lola and becomes her roommate at her family's farm. Soon, Faith meets Lola's family and becomes the central piece of a diabolical scheme.
"Slaughter," is one of the films featured in the Horrorfest 2009 series. This movie is very predictable but at the same time, it is very intriguing. I definitely recommend it!

Vixen or Victim ?

""Slaughter" was by far the most realistic of all the After Dark Horror Films this year,In My opinion.
If your looking for a Texas Chainsaw Massacre or heavy gore this isn't for you.But if your looking for a film that's thought provoking, thrilling and heart wrenching it is for you. I won't recount the story you can read the synopsis for that what I will give you is the lowdown on what I thought of it as a slasher /horror fan. As a general rule I LOVE gore and blood but I must admit I was pulled into this story while not seeing any of this for the first hour or so
granted I would have liked to have seen some but it wasn't needed.There were some very tense scenes towards the climax where I gritted my teeth and winced.It does have that gritty torture porn feel to it ,in the way it's filmed and presented,If your squeamish about teeth and pliers it will give you some thrills.
The whole pig farm combined with the what lies in the bottom of the lake thing is pretty chilling as well.It also has a great fight for survival sequence where the power struggle goes back and forth for awhile so you never know who is really going to win until it happens.All in all I though it was one of the best this year.

Not what I expected...

""Slaughter" was more of a realistic kind of story than a gorefest you would expect from it's title. If you want endless gore, move on to something else. But this is an excellent film full of suspense. I felt a rollercoaster of moods. You'll want to feel sorry for your chacaters and hate them all at the same time. In the end you will say, "Oh no!" Not my favorite of the 8 films but up there near the top."
