He's been expecting you ... - Abattoir review by NP
'Abattoir' immediately arrests the attention. Julia, the lead character played by Jesica Lowndes, appears to have drifted in from a noirish film from the '50s. Her boyfriend Detective Grady (Joe Anderson) talks like a modern-day gumshoe. The setting, however, is distinctly in the present. This strangeness is only compounded further by the storyline, involving collecting rooms that have witnessed murders.
It's an eccentric premise, and one that is too abstract to appeal to everyone. I loved it. In fact, I love anything that does something 'different' with the horror genre. The finale too, plays very much into the world of the fantastic which also proves to be mind-boggling. Director Darren Lynn Bousman pulls out all the stops to ensure that although what you may have seen is deeply unnerving, the climax moves things into another dimension.

Abattoir ? - Abattoir review by porky
Entertaining and a Really Interesting story idea behind the movie ,Sadly it just didnt come to fruition.
The idea of Taking the Rooms of Crime Scenes and constructing a House from all the different tainted Rooms is an interesting one and could have made an excellent Movie, This not being that im afraid to say.
As always the Heroine is Annoyingly Stupid and does exactly what you and everyone knows she shouldnt do on every single occasion, She is supposed to be a well educated,smart young woman journalist, one wonders where she kept that intelligence as it clearly wasnt in her head !
The Sidekick /ex boyfriend /Cop was like some bad Film Noir ,Philip Marlow Crime /Comedy Character . and couldnt be taken seriously at all.
Poorly used great idea, that could have been Far Better if handled right ,but very Watchable and Entertaining .
Certainly not worth a second watch. enjoy it once and forget .
