You never know what strange combination of factors is going to show up in a horror film trailer. I can’t say I had “Sloth as a Slasher Villain” in my mind before today, but the creators of Slotherhouse sure did.
Yes, Slotherhouse is a horror comedy about a killer sloth, and that’s been treated exactly as seriously as you’d expect. The first trailer is suitably tongue-in-cheek about one of the slowest creatures as the source of bloodshed.
Watch the Slotherhouse Trailer
Wanting to have a killer year, sorority sister Emily Young realizes she might just be the best option for her sorority. While beginning her campaign, she finds an adorable sloth that steals her heart and soon realizes she just might steal the hearts, and votes, of her sorority sisters. But when bodies slowly begin to pile up in the Sigma Lambda Theta house, Emily and her sorority sisters realize the deaths are being caused by their new house mascot, the cuddly sloth Alpha. Will Emily and her sisters escape the house with their lives? Or is this death-sloth with 3 razor sharp claws too quick for them?
A new poster for the film was also revealed alongside the trailer.
The film is directed by Matthew Goodhue (Woe) and stars Lisa Ambalanavar, Sydney Craven (York Witches Society), and Stefan Kapičić (Colossus in Deadpool). It’s set to release in theaters on August 30, 2023.
