Unlike their previous efforts together on Edgar Wright ’s Cornetto Trilogy ( Shaun of the Dead , Hot Fuzz , The World ’s End ) and 2011 ’s Greg Mottola sci - fi comedyPaul , Pegg and Frost did n’t cowriteSlaughterhouse Rulezin addition to starring . Even so , Pegg has mention that the photographic film is alike to his and Frost ’s collaboration by , in the way that it blends genre figure and broad humor with social / political commentary . Specifically , Pegg has describedSlaughterhouse Rulezas being"a gravid metaphor for the U.K. privatize things"that serves up the kind of"ridiculous , sloppy horror"that falls very much in the pair ’s pilothouse , next toShaun of the DeadandWorld ’s Endin detail .
Judging by the trailer , Slaughterhouse Rulezhas the same clearly British feel as Pegg and Frost ’s previous comedy efforts , if not the same sharp direction and visual sensibility of their collaborations with Wright peculiarly .
