A killer sloth takes on a sorority house.
Cocaine Bear might have taken the pop culture world by storm earlier this year, but there's an even more thrilling killer animal movie coming soon in Slotherhouse. While Cocaine Bear might have gained immense attention, especially since it was based on a true story, the concept of killer animals as movie antagonists is nothing new. Jaws may have put the subgenre on the map, but killer animal movies have existed since the 1920s.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Though considered "animal horror," the subgenre is encompassed by a more extensive range of living creatures who traditionally target humans. Before Jaws, Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds served as one of the best mainstream killer animal movie releases. As the decades went on, there were movies centered on all types of natural horrors, including insects , dogs , and fish .
The Slotherhouse trailer shows the newly adopted sloth preying on the girls, using its intimidatingly sharp claws to acquire new victims. The sloth seemingly uses its traditionally slow and quiet movement to its advantage, hiding in unexpected places like the sorority showers to attack. Even the Slotherhouse poster pokes fun at sloths' slow speeds and the sorority setting with the tagline of "Don't Rush, Die Slow.
Why Killer Animal Movies Are Still So Popular In Horror Movies with any kind of killer antagonist are terrifying, but it's even scarier when the villain is not human. Whether it's because they have a different sort of unpredictable nature that can't be tamed or a built-in predatory demeanor in many cases, movies can make any creature into a horrifying killer.
Cocaine Bear was deemed a box office winner, even spawning ripoffs like Cocaine Shark, but it's truly no surprise that the killer animal genre is still going strong after so many decades. If anything, Cocaine Bear probably just encouraged studios to test even more outlandish concepts.
