Many filmgoers probably figured they’d seen the wildest movie of the year to feature a killer animal when Cocaine Bear was released, but there’s a new horror-comedy in town with a much more outlandish concept.
Set to release later this month via Gravitas Ventures, Slotherhouse is a new film that’s just as it sounds. It’s a horror film that sets loose a killer sloth in a sorority house, and given the cuddly nature of the animal, it’s very unbefitting of what people think they might know about the creature. Filmgoers may forever see sloths differently after watching Slotherhouse when it hits theaters on Aug. 30, 2023. For now, a sneak peek can be seen by checking out the new trailer.
Matthew Goodhue directed Slotherhouse. The story is by Bradley Fowler and Cady Lanigan with Fowler penning the script. Rudi Rok provides the voice of Alpha the killer sloth, while the movie also stars Lisa Ambalavanar, Sydney Craven, Olivia Rouyre, Bianca Beckles-Rose, Andrew Horton, Sutter Nolan, Grace Patterson, Milica Vrzić, Annamaria Serda, Tiff Stevenson, Stefan Kapičić, and Kelly Lynn Reiter.
A Sloth Goes Berzerk in Slotherhouse
In the film, per the official synopsis, “It’s senior year of college for sorority sister Emily Young and for the first time ever, Sigma Lambda Theta is having elections for who will be president. Wanting to have a killer year, 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?”
Coming several months after Cocaine Bear, Slotherhouse also follows the release of another creature feature hitting theaters. Meg 2: The Trench is debuting on the big screen on Aug. 4, serving as a follow-up to the original shark horror film released in 2018. Meanwhile, a sequel is in development for the horror comedy film Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey after the parody movie had a strong showing in movie theaters.
Slotherhouse will be released in theaters on Wednesday, Aug. 30, 2023.
