Slaughter

Antonia Bernath, Lucy Holt (2009) Faith moves into a farm to escape from abuse and discovers that the farm owner is killing men.

Another of those After Dark Horrorfest movies.

I'm relatively certain that the description of the movie is lying to me. I'm pretty sure that the true "horror" part of this is when you realize that you just watched this crappy movie. If that is the case, the movie will get full marks. If it just turns into another horror movie, its going to be hard pressed to get any points.

So far its been 2 young women living on a farm or something. And doing nothing interesting. Except for sucking somewhat fierce with a shotgun. Even though she can't hit the broad side of anything, she does seem to get an incredible amount of shots out of a double barreled shotgun. Although that shotgun has external hammers, which makes it instantly awesomer than any shotgun with internal hammers.

And the director of this movie seems to have decided that dark = creepy. I probably mentioned this before, but dark = dark. And nothing else. You can't be creeped out by what you can't see. Especially if he's relying on you to be able to see it to be creeped out by it. Jaws, on the other hand, was designed to be creepy without being seen. That worked. This isn't working.

But, sadly, this movie gets no points. So, the last 2 movies have to get full points each to allow the After Dark Horrorfest to achieve a .500 average...
