Slaughterhouse Rulez is set in an elite boarding school. Welcome to Slaughterhouse, where boys and girls are groomed for power and greatness and they're about to meet their match. The story's hero, Don Wallace, is a wide-eyed new boy from a modest background forced to navigate a baffling new world of arcane rules and rituals, presided by sadistic sixth formers. Matters of status are aggressively enforced and conversation with school goddess Clemsie, are strictly forbidden. But this ancient and ordered world is about to be shaken to its foundations literally when a controversial frack site on prize school woodland causes seismic tremors, a mysterious sinkhole and an unspeakable horror is unleashed. Soon a new pecking order will be established as pupils, teachers and the school matron become locked in a bloody battle for survival.

Simon Pegg had a recent interview, where he briefly spoke about this film, saying: "It’s going to be really fun. It’s a sort of a horror comedy. It felt like the right thing for Nick and I to have as our first collaboration with Stolen Picture. It’s about a private school in the U.K. which sells off parts of its land to a fracking company, and the fracking company then unleashes a subterranean monster that terrorizes the school. It’s a big metaphor for the U.K. privatizing things, and it’s mixed up with some ridiculous, sloppy horror. So it’s right up our street." (5/25/18)
Directed by Crispian Mills (A Fantastic Fear of Everything).
Actor Finn Cole (Animal Kingdom, Peaky Blinders) plays the lead "Don Wallace."
Co-produced by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) via their newly-created Stolen Picture banner.
