Synopsis

The story focuses on Slaughterhouse, a British private school, and revolves around Don Wallace, a modest boy, newcomer to school, who tries to survive the demanding academy, his outdated rules and his difficult classmates, who prepare to reach the top of the political, social, economic and cultural spheres. He is different, and as such he must adapt and see if he can fit.

But the "normality" of the seemingly quiet school will be shaken by a strange earthquake leading to a hole in the ground inside the campus, something totally unexpected. Then, an inexplicable terror will come to light and they will have to face it if they want to stay alive. At that time, the entire order of the strict school will disappear while students and teachers try to survive fighting in a bloody battle against the most unimaginable horrors. They will be willing to do whatever it takes to survive and give everything in that battle that prevents it from being the end for school, or the entire world.

The film is directed by Crispian Mills, who is also in charge of the script, and in the main roles we find Margot Robbie, Asa Butterfield, Michael Sheen, so we see that it is an ambitious project, which despite this, did not get good reviews at its premiere on 2018.

  • 6.0 The GuardianAndrew Pulver Crispian Mills directs with zip, throwing things together with a breathlessness that largely distracts from the fact that, for a horror-comedy, Slaughterhouse Rulez is neither particularly scary nor… Read
  • 4.0 Los Angeles TimesNoel Murray There?s nothing particularly awful about the film (title aside), but it never develops into the ?Shaun of the Dead?-like social satire it strains to be. Read
  • 4.0 EmpireKim Newman Showing more enthusiasm than aptitude, this earns ?could do better if it tried? on its report card ? but it?s a strange enough genre mix to be vaguely worth a look. Read
