Slaughter Island

About This Movie

Slaughter Island is this low-key horror film that really taps into that classic slasher vibe. The setup is intriguing—a group of ten kids head to this deserted island, lured by tales of an ancient curse. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but the atmosphere is thick with dread, especially as the kids begin to disappear one by one. There's this creeping sense that something primal is hunting them. What stands out, though, are the practical effects, which have a raw edge that feels refreshing. The performances of the young cast can be hit or miss, but there’s a certain charm in their earnestness. It’s that mix of folklore and survival that gives it a unique twist, even if the execution isn’t flawless.
