Slotherhouse (2023)
2/10
Not a campy horror movie, just a bad movie.

This movie was one of the absolute worst movies I've ever seen. And I don't mean that in the sense "it is so bad it was good" like some campy horror movies may be. Genuinely awful movie. It had potential. Seemed like the movie was going to be self-aware of the premise but it was not. Next to no gore, the sloth is barely shown doing any murdering - anytime something happens the camera cuts to another angle. Some ideas in the movie could have been neat but either failed to be executed or were used ad nauseum. One of the most annoying characters I've ever seen in any movie was Zenny (I believe that was her name). The voice was absolutely terrible - imagine a woman doing a deep exaggerated masculine voice as they imitate a man - and the lack of any meta commentary in the movie regarding the voice just solidified they thought it was okay. The sloth goes on a murder spree after seeing the new owner in a pic with their former, abusive owner, but it doesn't try to kill her the next time it sees her shortly after. I'm okay with the sloth surviving being shot multiple times or moving far quicker than a sloth or taking selfies with victims. But there was no attempt at cleverness in the movie. I feel like this was a rough draft of a movie, but nobody bothered to look it over and patch up certain areas. Truly one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and that is not being used in an endearing way. Cocaine Bear was a million times better than this movie.
