More goofy than the usual Simon Pegg and Nick Frost fare. Had it been shorter, would have helped.

I loved. It has a good history about characters

Extremely silly but exactly as it means to be. I was thoroughly entertained. Clearly pokes fun at horror movie and boarding school tropes. Michael Sheen is incredible.

A "horror" movie that never seems to really set off. Takes ages before the evil creatures appear, and then they don't really do anything except chasing a group of very vanilla teenagers. Shaun of the Dead this ain't.

Cliche, derivative, and targeting the low-hanging fruit of greater comedies like Animal House and American Pie wrapped in a cheap gimmicky horror flick. The producers must have offered Pegg, Frost, and Butterfield some nice money because this film is below their acting abilities and despite Pegg and Frost chewing up the scenery at every chance they get, this film is bargain basement beneath them. But, at least the gore effects look almost completely practical.

It's bad and planned. I like the casts! Some social commentary on the UK boarding school crisis.

Fun film! A veritable showing of the public boy school food chain! It has it all: copious swearing, the Draco Malfoy bully persona, sex jokes, Latin, initiation orgies, and not to mention the monsters. On the other hand, it attempts to tackle relevant social and environmental issues, and while some things are not outright stated (the queer coded character remains just that), it does a fair job of it.

Shaun of the dead part 2. Charmless, derivative and fracking awful.

Over ripe and badly written, you'd have to be very bored for this to be worthwhile

Don Wallace is sent to a British boarding school that is know for producing the very upmost elite of British society. However, he soon discovers he has bigger problems to attend to than fitting in with the upper-crust as a local fracking site unleashes unspeakable beasties from the depths below. Slaughterhouse Rulez is billed as a horror comedy but unfortunately they forgot to add the comedy. I think there might have been one laugh in there somewhere but a horror comedy this is not. I think there may have been an environmental message in there somewhere about the dangers of fracking but that aspect didn't really fit in with the tone of the rest of the movie. As a naff but enjoyable b-movie horror though it does kind of work. It is very silly and ridiculous but I did find the horror elements of it quite enjoyable, not one I would go back to but wasn't an absolute waste of time.

Meh, entertaining but not great by any means. Suffers for some very poor writing, particularly in regards to character development and motivation. The issues it tries to address, such as homophobia, suicide and fracking, are handled particularity well. [mild spoiler - early reveal/obvious] On the former, the film missed an opportunity to provide actual queer representation, by employing the 'bury your gays trope' to unnecessarily kill of the gay character's love interest before the film even starts. (The suicide subplot is not well developed, and would have been better if replaced by the character changing schools). The commentary against homophobia would have meant more if they have the b@lls to actually show gay relationships (like by making Will Don's love interest, instead of Clemsie), or by handling the depiction of homophobia and suicide better....apart from that it was fine

I thoroughly enjoyed this little gem. It made me laugh and squirm. I highly recommend it. To the disparaging critics, get over yourselves!

Oh dear. Could have been better, especially if Simon pegg wasn't in it. I only lasted about 1/2 hour before switching off.

Where's the comedy? I mean, you can't sell this as a comedy just because it has Simon Pegg in it. I can also forgive the relative lack of horror, but I can't forgive the fact that it's SO BORING. I'm writing the review to pass the time waiting for something to happen. I don't even know if I can manage to finish it.

Suffers from excessive set-up and uninteresting subplots. Subterranean monsters crashing a Latin-language orgy at a British public school? That's great B-movie material. Most of the movie isn't that sort of content, though; the film tries to establish dialogues on class conflict and environmental issues, which could have worked in small doses where the audience is left to meditate a bit on them at their own convenience, but instead the centrality of these themes makes them come off as ham-fisted. Pegg and Frost need more room to breathe to make more of the quality comedy from their past. (2/5)

Nice B movie type! Entertaining but don't expect anything deep, new nor profound!

With a sharper script, it could have been something special. The director tackles some controversial subjects such as fracking and teen suicide that feel surprisingly relevant in Britain today. If you don't fall asleep during the first two acts, the third act you will enjoy.

With Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Michael Sheen, this could have been so much better, but it wasn't.

This is vastly, vastly inferior to Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's past collaborations. If you come to this expecting Shaun of the Dead or The World's End, you're going to be sorely disappointed. Slaughterhouse Rulez wastes a lot of time trying to be Hogwarts in hell before the monsters show up and start eating everybody. A poor kid enrolls in a posh British prep school, where the headmaster has made a deal with a fracking company to extract gas on the school grounds. Does the lake explode in a fiery ball of gas? Perfectly normal. But then the fracking frackers pop open a hole filled with monsters, who eat everybody. Prats just taste better. There were a few promising moments near the beginning, and it really looks like Asa Butterfield had more to offer as a barely closeted student whose roommate committed suicide last term, but that more interesting story gets lost pretty quick. The monster design isn't half bad, and as far as silly romps in which comically evil and stupid people get torn in half by monsters, this is passable. It takes shots at some pretty easy targets - the British aristocracy as well as fracking companies - but never really develops its critique to a level that's very interesting. The cast is surprisingly stacked, but everyone is phoning it in. Margot Robbie even shows up from time to time, but always on a phone screen and only for a few seconds - one wonders why she agreed to be part of this at all. If, suddenly and on the spot, you asked Michael Sheen to improvise the headmaster of a stuffy British academy, you'd get the performance he delivers here. Tom Rhys Harries is a standout because he looks like he's having a lot of fun playing an Aryan house prefect who is allergic to mercy, or anything else approaching humanity.

Great fun! A mix of school woes/hijinks, Kid monster movies, and Pegg and Frost. Some good cameos. A movie you don't have to think about, just chill, and watch. Not for everyone though. For fans of horror and British humor,
