What is Slotherhouse about?

The official trailer made its debut on August 2, 2023, courtesy of Gravitas Ventures on YouTube. It introduces us to Alpha, the cunning sloth set to steal the show, and maybe a few hearts. Alpha's got brains, scrolling through social snippets on a sorority sister's laptop.

The story of Slotherhouse revolves around Emily Young, a college senior who is on the verge of doing whatever it takes to win her sorority's presidency.

She finds herself in the strange situation of choosing a wild sloth as her mascot instead of using the traditional strategies of this high-stakes campaign, such as personalized shirts or pins. She welcomes the sloth named "Alpha" into her sorority home with the help of a morally gray guy.

The course of events seemed to be going smoothly at first, with Alpha receiving plenty of attention and participating in influencer-level photoshoots thanks to the sorority sisters.

Alpha's real personality, however, which is dripping with murderous purpose, slowly manifests. She attacks the sisters of the Sigma Lambda Theta sorority one by one, taking their lives. As the number of dead bodies grows, Emily must face the need of exposing Alpha's sudden savagery and coming up with a plan to stop the carnage.

The official synopsis via IMDB reads:

"It’s senior year of college for sorority sister Emily Young and for the first time ever, Sigma Lambda Theta is having elections for who will be president. Wanting to have a killer year, Emily Young realizes she might just be the best option for her sorority. While beginning her campaign, she finds an adorable sloth that steals her heart and soon realizes she just might steal the hearts, and votes, of her sorority sisters. But when bodies slowly begin to pile up in the Sigma Lambda Theta house, Emily and her sorority sisters realize the deaths are being caused by their new house mascot, the cuddly sloth Alpha. Will Emily and her sisters escape the house with their lives? Or is this death-sloth with 3 razor sharp claws too quick for them?"
