It's about to be hot sloth September. Or so I was told this morning by a PR email about Uggs, at least.
But what that grievously failed to inform me was that a movie called Slotherhouse comes out today through Gravitas Ventures. Directed by Michael Goodhue, it's a horror-comedy about a college sorority being terrorized by their sloth mascot (who has some significant bloodlust) — think Scream Queens meets Blood and Honey meets Sharknado.
Here's the film's synopsis:
It's senior year of college for sorority sister Emily Young and for the first time ever, Sigma Lambda Theta is having elections for who will be president. Wanting to have a killer year, Emily Young realizes she might just be the best option for her sorority. While beginning her campaign, she finds an adorable sloth that steals her heart and soon realizes she just might steal the hearts, and votes, of her sorority sisters. But when bodies slowly begin to pile up in the Sigma Lambda Theta house, Emily and her sorority sisters realize the deaths are being caused by their new house mascot, the cuddly sloth Alpha. Will Emily and her sisters escape the house with their lives? Or is this death-sloth with three razor-sharp claws too quick for them?
In the trailer, which you can watch below, we see Emily learn what a sloth is via Instagram, and then buy one that has been captured and brought to whichever part of America her campus is in. "It's a wild animal — you don't even know what it eats!" one of her sorority sisters warns, before one dude has the privilege of getting to remark on how Sigma Lambda Theata has become a slotherhouse.
If we're lucky, they'll do enough sequels to make it to Slotherhouse-Five.
