The Slaughter - When six college students take a job cleaning up an abandoned house, their plans are to work hard by day, and play hard by night. However, their careful planning is disrupted when they discover the ubiquitous ancient Tome which has the power to raise Cthulha – an ancient female demon. Wonderfully written and acted, “The Slaughter” is an old-school, camp-o-rama bloodfest festival organizers have described as "Sam Raimi meets Kevin Smith." Sundance filmmaker Jay Lee (“Noon Blue Apples, The Affairs of God), returns to San Francisco and slashes, drowns, spears, rips, squishes and burns people in “The Slaughter.” With his tongue so firmly in cheek that it nearly rips a hole, Lee delivers a perfectly pitched horror-comedy romp that never takes the easy road, and respects the audience, the characters, the zombies and the Demon. Hysterically written, and sickly executed, THE SLAUGHTER was also one of the first films to respond to The Spooky Movie Horror Film Festival's submission call. Horror/Comedy * 95 minutes (FRIDAY · 9:30 p.m. block)
