"You can't spell slaughter without laughter!" And apparently you can film The Slaughter without a slaughter.
Six college students (the jock! the slut! the misfit! the valedictorian! the pothead! the other one!) with a crappy job (clean up an abandoned house, where have I heard that before) are attacked by a racked demoness. Throw in a sleazy corporate exec and his aide, drop some blood on a buried occult book, stir, and let set.
OK, there are some potentially funny references to other horror films ("what kind of zombies are those?", "we're not going to split up like they do in the horror films"), but the timing is quite bad, and the quality of the acting isn't exactly top-notch either.
Ultimately an enjoyable college-kids-killed-by-demons-and-zombies film, though it does overreach a bit.
