Welcome to Slaughterhouse, an elite boarding school where boys and girls are groomed for power and greatness…until their well-organized world is thrown into a bloody mess. In dark comedy SLAUGHTERHOUSE RULEZ, debuting on Digital and in select theaters May 17 and on DVD June 18 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, pupils and teachers become embroiled in a battle with a hoard of subterranean monsters, unleashed from a gaping frack site sinkhole, wreaking havoc on the school grounds.

As you watch the trailer you will see the same techniques that have been used in Nick Frost and Simon Pegg films for years. Smash cuts and dark humor. This feels like the closest thing to Shaun of the Dead we have got from the duo lately.
