There’s no shortage of horror movies with premises so bizarre that you just have to watch them. Horror comedies are on the rise, becoming increasingly popular in the ever-growing community of horror fanatics. Just in the past year, we’ve been graced with the cinematic masterpiece known as Cocaine Bear as well as the dark re-imagining of once-familiar and friendly childhood characters in Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. Another popular children’s character that joined the public domain and has been turned into an even more villainous version, is the Grinch. Coming to VOD this October will be The Mean One, a slasher-fied version of the Dr. Seuss Christmas tale.
After its first foray into the world of horror in 2022 with horror-comedy All Eyes, Gravitas Ventures has decided to continue down that path with its latest horror-comedy, Slotherhouse. No, that’s not a typo. The movie is one of many in the popular “killer animal” sub-genre, from Zombeavers to Sharknado, Slotherhouse is gearing up to become the first killer animal flick where the animal in question has a top ground speed of 6–8 feet per minute. However, when swinging through the tropical canopies, they can move much faster at the blistering rate of up to 15 feet per minute. To put this into perspective, the supposed “killer” animal’s top speed is still approximately five times slower than a drifting iceberg.
If you haven’t already figured out what kind of animal could possibly be featured in the upcoming film, it’s a three-toed sloth. Written by Bradley Fowler (The Voices) and Cady Lanigan (Izzy Lyon: The Unspun Truth), this horror-comedy is directed by Matthew Goodhue (Woe) and will have a theatrical release later this month. This article will tell you everything you need to know about Slotherhouse!

Things seemingly start off fine, with Alpha getting loads of attention and influencer-level photo shoots from the other girls in the sorority, but Alpha likes to take her time before showing her true killer nature. One by one, she starts to attack and kill the sorority sisters of Sigma Lambda Theta. As the bodies begin to pile up, Emily has to figure out why Alpha has suddenly turned violent and how she can stop her from killing again.
