10 Worst Horror Movies Of 2024

4. Slaughterhouse On The Hill

The Exorcism Russell Crowe

In this mockumentary horror, a group of friends head to an abandoned abattoir they used to hang out when they were teens. While drinking into the night and talking about the good old days, they discover they're being hunted by a pig-masked murderer.

The film is told with a story-within-a-story structure, with a documentary host, TJ Emerson, detailing how the brutal massacre unfolded. However, this layout ruins the flow, since the action is constantly interrupted by the host's banal observations. Also, there are times where it's painfully obvious the actor portraying Emerson is reading his lines from a cue card.

But even if the embedded narrative was dropped, Slaughterhouse would still be an absolute car crash. The barbaric kills are unconvincing, thanks to the amateur prosthetics and fake blood. There's an asinine amount of slow-motion, which feels like a lazy attempt to stretch out the 67-minute run-time. The characters are so devoid of... well... character, it leaves zero impact when they have their limbs or heads lopped off.

Though Slaughterhouse on the Hill can be viewed online for free, any poor soul who watches this will feel like asking for their money back.
