10 Recent Horror Comedy Movies You Need To Stop Sleeping On

10. Slotherhouse

Slotherhouse is the latest in a long tradition of taking the irresistibly cute and turning it into our worst nightmare - with hysterical results. Where Gremlins, Critters, and Cocaine Bear came before, Matthew Goodhue’s Slotherhouse treads anew, inviting us into the world of Emily Young, who wants more than anything to be elected sorority president and will do anything to get there.

“Anything” includes adopting a sloth, which she wrongly presumes will ramp up the cute factor and help her win the popular vote. But soon the sloth is off the tree and crawling rampant around campus, unleashing its innermost evil in a string of vicious murders.

Don’t be fooled by how slow the sloth moves, as American college students can always move slower. This inability to outmanoeuvre the world’s slowest mammal forms the bulk of the comedy for the film, and the ridiculous puppet sloth does the rest. But, despite these ripe comedy-horror pickings, Slotherhouse is still an undiscovered gem. Sure, it only came out last year, but if you sleep on this one any longer, the sloth might just catch you.
