Absolute nonsense
Let's face it, I wasn't expecting much from a film that had gone straight to dvd/sky but i was hoping it could be fairly enjoyable like Thirteen Ghosts or House on Haunted Hill, however this was when worse than I ever would've thought. The acting and script was awful, it was ridiculously cheesy and the plot made no sense whatsoever. Even talking it over after the film, we couldn't figure out what on earth was going on and why. There's also the fact that the plot summary gives away the main part of the film and this doesn't actually appear on screen until there's only around 20 minutes remaining. And the film's title Abattoir is a little misleading and maybe slightly misused.

Thoroughly Enjoyable
Well I’m so glad I watched this, I love the Haunted House and Ghost Train rides at fairgrounds so this was right up my street.

I didn’t think the film was scary as such, but there were certainly some very creepy moments, and I felt the vivid lighting also gave the film a distinctive edge.

Well acted, well put together and thoroughly refreshing for the horror genre, this makes an excellent night’s viewing if you just want a fright without too much baggage.

The most enjoyable horror I’ve seen since the Final Destination movies. Scored 9 out of 10 as I felt the ending was disappointing, I feel a twist of some kind would have made it a perfect 10.

Yesterday, I saw the movie based on the series of short story collections that inspired future makers of horror. It affected me so deeply that I decided to skip a Rifftrax screening. The actual film collects multiple horror tropes: haunted house, creepy hallways, reanimated corpses, spiders, supernatural serial killer, books. Most of the stories startle, but never terrify. The creature designs are phenomenal. The ending is kind of a letdown after all the thrills. However, one story completely disturbed me. Not the story or the creature, but the style. It used a lot of anticipation and narrative, but never showed much of the horror. It just built up tension and had one huge scare leading to a horrifying "ending" for one of the characters.
