Reviews

Horrorkomedie van Crispin Mills met bekende acteurs, zoals Asa Butterfield (Time freak; The space between us), Margot Robbie, Simon Pegg (Shaun of the dead) en Nick Frost. Don Wallace (Finn Cole) is een leerling van eenvoudige afkomst die is toegelaten op de elitaire kostschool Slaughterhouse. Hij heeft moeite te wennen aan de regels van de school en van de leerlingen onderling, maar dan vindt er een aardbeving plaats: door controversiële fracking in de buurt van de school is een gigantisch zinkgat ontstaan waaruit een troep monsters ontsnapt. Iedereen moet vechten voor zijn leven. Andrew Pulver (theguardian.com) ziet ‘a decent job’ van de acteurs en concludeert: ‘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.’ Vanaf ca. 15 jaar.

About Crispian Mills

Crispian Mills (born 18 January 1973 as Crispian John David Boulting; spiritual name Krishna Kantha Das) is an English singer-songwriter, guitarist, and film director. Active since 1988, Mills is best known as the frontman of the psychedelic indie rock band Kula Shaker. Following the band's break-up in 1999, he remained with Columbia Records (a subsidiary of Sony BMG), and toured with a set of session musicians (including a support slot for Robbie Williams) under the name Pi, although no official studio recordings were released in full. After the label rejected the Pi album, Mills disappeared for a short time, returning in 2002 as frontman and lead guitarist for back-to-basics rock outfit The Jeevas, who disbanded in 2005 to make way for a reformed Kula Shaker, who released their third album Strangefolk in 2007. 2010 he released the album Pilgrims Progress with Kula Shaker. In 2017 the band celebrated the 20th anniversary …Read more on Wikipedia
