The Bitch is Crazy! By: Sasha Slaughter

Well hi there creepers! I see you're still obsessed with sexual organ mutilation. Get a hobby weirdos!! =) But we do appreciate the views, so keep them coming! Anyway, Sasha Slaughter here with you and since there is no real theme, I'm gonna hit you with something random again. I was browsing Netflix and I found a movie called Slaughter that I thought sounded interesting. Slaughter was written and directed by Stewart Hopewell. It was part of the third After Dark Horrorfest and is said to be inspired by true events. The original title of the film was Faithless, but soon was changed to Slaughter. The film received mostly negative reviews, often being called boring. So let me tell you about it huh???

Faith is a young woman who is trapped in a relationship with her abusive boyfriend Jimmy. She finally has the courage to leave him and goes to Atlanta to start a new life. That's where she meets Lola in a bar. The two immediately hit it off and become close friends. Shortly after, Jimmy calls Faith at her new apartment, and Faith decides to ask Lola if she can stay with her. Lola accepts and Faith moves in with Lola on her family's farm where she lives with her two brothers and her controlling father. By day the girls do chores around the farm, and by night the girls go out and party at Atlanta. Faith notices that Lola brings home a different man every night. Eventually she also notices that the men seem to completely disappear after spending the night with Lola. Faith begins seeing strange things around the farm, and soon suspects that Lola's father is murdering the men in the farm's slaughterhouse. But unfortunately for Faith, she missed a few clues along the way that could mean life or death for her.
Bitch is crazy! I won't give it away, but yeeesh! Someone has some daddy issues. The movie was ok...nothing much happened the first like....hour. It was kind of boring. The end was decent, kind of suspenseful. There was some blood, death by shotgun, teeth being pulled out, and a hanging. It could have been better. The plot line has some potential, but it was totally wasted. The acting was ok, but the actors were totally overpowered by the music that was played during certain scenes. The whole idea of the movie was an identity switch, that's all well and good except DNA does wonders nowadays, and so does fingerprinting. I'm wondering if the director even thought about that?? You'll see what I mean. The chick has some serious issues, it's implied that she was molested as a child and takes her anger out on other men because of it.
Overall I'd give Slaughter a 2 out of 5. It could have been a really great film, but it seemed kinda rushed and a bit slow in the beginning. And what really agitated me was that Faith had the balls to get away from her abusive boyfriend, but was weak when it came to fighting off another female while trying to stay alive. STUPID!! 

 Ohh and before I forget, in the movie people were mean to poor little piggies!! They showed them being slaughtered (which obviously is fake) but it made me sad =(. Yeah, that was pretty random. Anyway, I don't really think I'd watch this again, just too many holes in the plot to be a good movie. 
Maybe with a little more time spent on it and more plot development, it could have been better. And hey since you're spying on me, don't forget to see what Zane has going on!! You'll be glad you did. Thanks for stopping by DEH!!

IS THERE A KILLER INSIDE OF YOU? By: SASHA SLAUGHTER

Well hi there creepy blog stalkers! Are you still searching for gross stuff? Awesome! Now before I get to today's post, I have to say that peppermint mocha coffee creamer is the bees knees. I know! Nothing to do with horror, but I can say what I want! Half my blog, half my rules. Soooo, today I'll be telling you ass clowns (And I totally mean that in the nicest way possible) about a little movie called Kill Theory

I've seen the movie on Syfy, so you know they edit the shit out of that. So I decided to catch it on Netflix. Not a whole lot of difference between the two besides some cussing and a brief shot of tiny tata's. Kill Theory was written by Kelly Palmer and directed by Chris Moore. And here's a little more info for you, Kill Theory was a part of After Dark Films Horror Fest: 8 Films To Die For. Yay! So let me tell you a little more about it.

After a hiking trip with three best friends goes awry, Walter is forced to make the decision to kill his friends to save himself, or die with them. He ultimately decides to cut the rope they were hanging on, and watches his three best friends fall to their deaths. Walter is convicted on three counts of second degree murder and spends three years in a state mental hospital. The day has come when Walter finishes his three year sentence and is being released by his doctor. He is talking to his psychiatrist Dr. Karl Truftin when he tells Walter that he must come back for after care for one year. The Dr. points out that Walter did after all, kill his friends, and reminds Walter that he had said that we all have the potential to be a killer. Walter agrees to come to treatment as scheduled and signs the paper and is set free.

Meanwhile a group of friends (Amber, Brent, Freddy, Jennifer, Michael, Nicole, Carlos, and Alex) are vacationing together one last time before going off to the college in the fall. They are staying at Brent's fathers vacation home in a secluded wooded area. Walter, who's mind is warped from the entire experience, and who is still bitter about the trial, ventures to the remote lakeside home and finds the teenagers partying into the night. He then decides to test his twisted theory on them.

While in the kitchen, Nicole is grabbed from behind and kidnapped. Shortly after she is pushed through the window into Freddy's bed. Everyone wakes up and realizes that Nicole's throat had been slit and the letters T.V. were carved into her stomach. Brent tuns on the TV and a man (The one who was recently released from the psych ward) comes onto the screen. The sadistic sociopath tells them that they all have the potential to be killers. He then tells them that they have until 6 a.m. and if more than one of them is still alive, he will kill everyone that remains. If anyone wants to stay alive, they have to kill all others that stand in their way, and be the last one standing when it's over.

What a freak!! It's actually kind of a trippy movie though. It raises the question, what would you in this situation? Would you kill your best friends in order to survive? Or would you let them kill you so they could survive?? That's too deep for me to ponder at the moment...and it's kinda morbid. I haven't had enough liquor to even think about it. This movie was actually pretty decent. The acting was good, and the death scenes were pretty good too. There was a limb severing, a dude getting a kitchen skewer through his eye, a dude getting beaten to death by a shovel...ughh I won't tell you anymore, but this movie had it's fair share of blood and gore. It was interesting watching people that were formerly friends and lovers plot to kill one another.

And the plot twist at the end was totally unexpected. Didn't even see it coming! Overall I'd give Kill Theory a 3 out of 5. I could have done without the whiny guy that cried, screamed and freaked out during almost the whole movie. Quit being a bitch huh? That really got on my nerves. I was actually kinda glad when he got a skewer through the eye and out the back of his head. The film did kind of remind me of the Saw series in a way, but not too much. 

And it wasn't at all surprising that cellphones didn't work in the area, the power went out, and oh hey, the phone lines were cut. SHOCKER! But I would recommend this film, maybe during a stormy night or when you want to see some quality gore. And hey, since you're here, stop and by and see what Zane's got going on. Thanks for stopping by Dead End Horror.
