TCM, but remove all the tension and switch it with dumbness.
Slaughterhouse is a fairly good late-80s slasher flick. There's an old slaughterhouse, a fat, disgusting pig-man killer, an old lunatic, dumb kids, and lots of pigs. Add some gruesome kills here and there, and you have the recipe for your average TCM slasher rip-off.
There's plenty of dumb fun to be had. The main cast consists of a bunch of kids who just want to have some fun, and they do exactly that throughout the movie. The killer is extremely nasty, and combined with the slaughterhouse setting, makes for a very good slasher atmosphere. Some of the kills are pretty good, and you get a healthy amount of gore to spice things up.
Overall, I wouldn't call it an essential 80s slasher, but it's definitely worth checking out for genre fans.
