Reviews
“There’s decent gore, the atmosphere of the mine is actually pretty cool, and the acting is fine. But the movie just fell short of what I was expecting and didn’t live up to what it could’ve been. The supernatural element was definitely a different spin on the slasher film, but it’s just a formula that doesn’t work well with me. Personally I want one or the other, and when you mix together both it just waters it all down in this reviewers opinion.” Bloodtype Online
“What pisses me off about Slaughter Night is it could have been a four, four and half star movie if it weren’t for the editing. The story is fun, the effects you can see are very nice and the acting is solid. But in an effort to be slick, it slips and falls harder than it should.” Horror Talk
“The production quality of the film is quite good, it is just poorly executed with mediocre acting a second rate script, and plain direction. Nothing really elevates this beyond the mundane. I have certainly seen worse films. You could really do worse than Slaughter Night. Then again, you can also do a lot better.” Critical Outcast
