"This is a great movie in the vein of Texas chainsaw massacre. The picture quality here is absolutely top-notch and the 5. 1 audio track is superb. The extras are a little lacking, but the movie itself makes up for it. The artwork on the cover is fantastic. Just wish I could have that super nice slip, but unfortunately, it was not meant to be."
"An old outdated slaughterhouseis shut down by its competitors so it's owner and his simple minded son buddy who only talks in pig grunts seek revenge while also killing a bunch of partying teens snooping around the slaughterhouse. It's another simple yet fun slasher to add to the collection"
"I'm a big fan of slasher movies, so I had to get this one. I had a lot of fun watching Slaughterhouse and the Blu-ray extras were awesome!!"
"Amazing VS transfer of this great horror flick. Highly recommended for genre fans! 4/5 stars!"

"This is what vinegar syndrome was built from. Of the backs of movies like this. One of the classics!"
"The tag line really says it all. One of my favorite posters of this period."
