The Slaughter Rule Storyline

In Blue Springs, Montana, high school student Roy Chutney is beginning to lose his way in life largely the result of two simultaneous events. The first is that his father, Nelson Chutney, dies. Roy hadn’t seen his father much since his parents divorced and his father remarried. Nelson was run over by a train, but Roy’s mother, Evangeline Chutney, with who Roy has a somewhat emotionally distant relationship, believes he committed suicide. The second is that because funding to the school has reduced the football program to just a varsity team with no junior varsity, Roy, along with half the other players, is cut from the football squad, as his coach doesn’t believe he is mentally tough enough despite he being a skilled player. The two incidents combined make the situation even worse for Roy as football was his primary connection to his father. Into Roy’s life enters Gideon Ferguson, the local newspaper seller, who asks Roy to be part of his newly formed football team, which will play in a six-man back field league. Gid ends up being that father figure that is missing in Roy’s life. That guidance is especially important as Roy begins his first sexual relationship, with Skyla Sisco, a local barmaid. However, Roy and Gid’s relationship begins to change when rumors abound that Gid is gay and is romantically interested in Roy. Roy has to wade through the rumors and his own feelings both for Gid and Skyla in figuring out what to do regarding his relationships with them.—Huggo

The Slaughter Rule Movie Reviews

Engrossing but morbidly depressing.

This movie is well-acted. And the setting is evocative of the thematic desolation rampant throughout the story. You will not be in a blissful mood when the credits roll. So the movie does what it intends.

question

It must have been a bad night to try and watch this movie.Very different than I expected to say the least. My question doesn’t have to go along with the main story but what was up with the mom? What was going on when Roy walked in her room and she was crying on the bed naked? Just ended with no endings for me which I find disturbing. Did I miss something with Skyla and Roy, were they to keep in touch or did she just leave. What happened with the Christmas trees and the step dad? Did two dogs end up leaving home for good? I have really enjoyed watching Ryan Goslin in movies thats why I chose this one tonight. I expected an action football movie and although not disappointed in the movie inself, just ended up confused. Any one else confused too?

Quirky, interesting

Needs to be subtitled sometimes, t’was either the accent or the poor sound system. Unfortunately I’m not into any kind of sport so that does not help but now know a little bit more about American football. A good first time effort.
