5/5 More of a dark comedy than anything
  by John Doe (SOMEWHERE)
Me personally i think this movie rules,but like i said in my title its more of a dark comedy than a horror film.The storyline is about this guy who owns a slaughterhouse that the city is trying to condemn,well him and his 300 pound son (who snorts like a pig instead of talk,and basically is a pig except in human form) decide to get revenge on the ones that are trying to condemn it.In no way is this a tcm ripoff,why is it that if any movie has even a small family that kills people it automatically rips off tcm? Whatever though,i mean if u are looking for a high class horror film that isnt low budget than dont buy this. But if you like independent horror/slasher films that are quite funny as well as semi gory(or if your a sucker for cheesy 80s slasher films) than by all means i reccomend it.

2/5 Buddy has an axe to grind...A big axe.

This low budget 80's slasher was so lame, I thought that with a title like Slaughterhouse that maybe it would be gory as hell or that it might be interesting but I was mistaken. The film turned out to be very weak and boring most of the time we just see these typical 80's teens partying and having a good time but none of this mattered and the killer Buddy was rather pathetic overwieght and not even intimidating, he just spends his time with his pigs and wearing a cops uniform while driving all over the place and across the street like a moron and he also makes pig noises!. This film had potential by being a good slasher and comedy film but it wasn't funny or scary, the gore and blood were very unconvincing and looked fake I know what your thinking that most low budget films are like this but this film just wasn't enjoyable and it felt like I wanted to press the fast forward button to get to the good parts which were very few. This is not a good slasher film and I cannot recommend this, two thumbs down.

5/5 30% fat

Oh the Bacon's... Buddy's has a hyigenie problem!!!!! And that ain't all. But after all anyone who sleeps with pigs would have a tendecy to smell. Oh then their is Mr Bacon. One of the last REAL Butcher's. This movie is awsome late night material. There's plenty of humor some gore and some real animal lovers.

2/5 Mediocre

Rick Roessler's low-budget and comedic offshoot of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one mess of a movie and here's why the plot and storyline really copies TCM with a fat farmer named Buddy who acts like a hog and kills trespassers on his farm or if they mess with his hogs,second the acting seems like these so-called actors are in a High School play and reading their lines off a q-cards,third the special effects are cheap but sometimes decent like the scene where he slashes a teen's face and blood shoots all over a van window. Please do not buy this movie but if you see this at Hollywood video rent it for a laugh or to make fun of. Slaughterhouse is a stinker.
