Nov 2, 2018 (Updated Nov 2, 2018)
Slaughterhouse Rulez boasts an impressive cast, including Michael Sheen, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Pegg and Frost are even credited as executive producers, so you'd be forgiven for expecting something along the lines of the brilliant three flavours Cornetto trilogy. Unfortunately, it comes nothing close, and I cannot believe those 3 had anything to do with this. The characters are mostly lazily written stereotypes and it's not at all funny. The creatures themselves have good potential, but due to poor editing they don't even come across as scary. It's just not very good at all. Such a disappointment.

Imagine Nick Cutter's "The Troop" if it was written by Simon Pegg. This is a really fun read, and I recommend it to anyone who isn't too squeamish and loves a good horror comedy.

Paula Patton was kind of awful in this, I just wanted her scenes to end. Her acting is eye-roll inducing.
The villain was practically non-existent, I felt like the film was more focused on the team. There's definitely nothing wrong with that.
I'm glad they made Simon Pegg part of the permanent(ish?) cast, because the rest of the characters take themselves too seriously.
Now, I don't particularly like Tom Cruise, because I'll never forget the weird Oprah couch-jumping thing. But, you have to give it to the dude when he does some crazy stunt work, I definitely respect the dude in that aspect.
