The Guardian Andrew Pulver

Crispian Mills directs with zip, throwing things together with a breathlessness that largely distracts from the fact that, for a horror-comedy, Slaughterhouse Rulez is neither particularly scary nor especially funny. But it does have an amiable sort of charm. Read full review

There’s nothing particularly awful about the film (title aside), but it never develops into the “Shaun of the Dead”-like social satire it strains to be. Read full review

Empire Kim Newman

Showing more enthusiasm than aptitude, this earns ‘could do better if it tried’ on its report card — but it’s a strange enough genre mix to be vaguely worth a look. Read full review

The Telegraph Tim Robey

The school isn’t specific enough and the horror isn’t weird enough: on both fronts, it’s so broad it could practically be a Norfolk waterway. Read full review

Very funny and gory anti-establishment riot with a standout cast. Asa Butterfield and Finn Cole make a terrific and rather touching double act, while Michael Sheen’s oily headmaster is a hoot. Cult classic in the making

Feels like it had Simon Pegg and Nick Frost just to piggy back on their success from their previous zombie etc movies. But this wasn't as great. It also felt corny at times and the place where all those kids were learning or whatever was so weird itself and unrealistic, basically good actorsFeels like it had Simon Pegg and Nick Frost just to piggy back on their success from their previous zombie etc movies.
