Slotherhouse
29.9.: Part of Night of the 1000 Knives
Rarely has a killer critter been so cute and creepy as in Matthew Goodhue’s wonderfully bonkers creature feature/college-horror spoof Slotherhouse. Competing in the race of sorority president, senior Emily desperately needs more social media followers. And since nothing’s more popular than furry sidekicks, she uses her chance acquaintance with a poacher to get her hands on Alpha the sloth. Too bad the new mascot’s abduction from his jungle home has left such a sour taste in his mouth. Because now the three-clawed slo-mo predator begins to go to town on his new clique. (me)
