The Slaughterhouse Massacre (2005)

This movie is about that stage of life, that rite of passage, that we all go through when we hang out in an abandoned slaughterhouse where some people were murdered years ago and try to contact the spirit of the killer. After a good three hours in which our group of college mongoloids bicker, argue and prank each other, the mad slasher finally shows up to do us all a favor. The BIG letdown here is that nearly all of the gore is bad 2005 CGI gore that’s about as thrilling as seeing Super Mario get killed by one of those little mushroom people. When you don’t have a good script, a good make-up man can save a horror film. When you don’t have that, you at least need a pretty girl and the makers here somehow got leggy brunette Shaila Vaidya to play along. She stays clothed throughout, but gets almost into the spirit when she takes off her skirt for no reason (revealing ugly grandma panties last seen in a movie in 1953) during the climactic chase. Scariest scene is Vaidya and her boyfriend hiding out from the killer and having a tender moment in which they decide that when all of this is over, they’re going to love each other more than ever and get married. I had to look away from that one.
