Between all of these versions of the subject, how can one re-interrupt the old haunted house? Well, it seems horror director Darren Lynn Bousman is attempting to do it in a medium one might not expect from him

This comics is really good looking.
And the spectacular artwork doesn't end with the covers, the whole comics is done beautifully, with great care to details so the whole thing looks sweet.
There is something else that sets this one apart from most of the other comics I read. Abattoir is full of gruesome and explicit details, but the main story is done so that you need to think and connect the dots in order to realize the big picture. So in a way it is brutal and bloody, but still subtle enough when it needs to be. A great combination, I loved that.
Abattoir is a horror comics, it tells a few parallel stories.
-Firstly there is a man who one day just snaps and butchers his whole family on his kid birthday party, whit the whole town invited and watching.
-Secondly a story about a man who has the misfortune of having to sell a house that was a scene of a massacre in a small town where nobody will want to buy it, right? Wrong! Nobody normal would want to buy it. And here enters a Jebediah dude. Creepy as hell. He wants to buy it at all costs and won't take no for a answer.
There is something seriously wrong with this Jebediah. He has a sinister agenda. But that is another story, one I don't want to spoil:)
This comics had a amazing depth and complexity to it, I loved it very much.
It also had truck loads of scenes that meticulously show atrocities and things that can make you vomit:) Don't read if you're overly sensitive.

Комикс на ужасите от режисьора Дарън Лин Боусман (франчайзът SAW (II,III,IV), "Денят на майката", "Репо! Генетичната опера"). Баусман ни предоставя една смразяваща, свръхестествена приказка, която се развива в края на 80-те някъде в Америка! След жестоко клане в разкошна къща (баща избива цялото си семейство по много брутален начин), на агентът по недвижими имоти Ричард Ашуолт е възложена нелеката задача да продаде имота. Докато Ричард изследва напоените с кръв земи около имота, един странен старец пътува към къщата със зловеща и ужасяваща цел. Ричард е на път да бъде въвлечен в паяжина от сенки, убийства и кланета, които ще разрушат самата му същност!
Графичният роман се състои от 6 броя, издадени в периода 2010-2011 г. от "Radical Comics". Както може да видите от приложените снимки, артът е натуралистичен и брутален. В интерес на истината, художникът Бинг Кансино се справя страхотно с пресъздаване на ужасяващата атмосфера, която историята на Дарън Лин Боусман налага. На снимките може да видите кориците на броевете, както и някои работи с молив на Бинг Кансино.
Комиксът е предистория на оцененният много ниско филм "Abattoir" от 2016 г. Филмът не съм гледал, но комиксът със сигурност не е за пропускане.
Думата abattoir означава кланица и мога да ви гарантирам, че описва много точно историята.

Good semi-realistic artwork, love the amount of gore which is a bit rare even in horror comics. Very interesting concept, but the story unfortunately meanders around until a lackluster end.

Interessante horror-thriller ad andamento ciclico dai disegni inizialmente poco apprezzati in quanto privi di un buon dinamismo, ma a cui ci si abitua con calma venendo intrappolati dalla storia.

I discovered this graphic novel randomly while searching for new ones to read on the Google Play Store and I noticed that one of the creators of it was the director of SAW.
My first thought going into this one was "This should be pretty brutal" and I definitely wasn't wrong. Within the first few pages an entire birthday party is murdered by the Mitchell family's father and it continues to get ever more crazy as the series goes on.
The story largely focuses on a Realtor named Richard Ashwalt who is attempting to sell the Mitchell family's home after the brutal murder. While investigating the house in the middle of the night, an old man appears named Jebediah Crone who is insistent on buying the house. When Richard refuses to sell Jebediah the house, he unknowingly finds himself the target of Jebediah's wrath and it quickly escalates from there.
I actually enjoyed this graphic novel quite a bit but the reason I'm giving this one 2 stars is because of the ending, or the total lack of one. The story just, stops, right in the middle of it and there's no true conclusion to the events that occur in the story. The story just jumps to the epilogue like none of what happened even mattered, which is a major disappointment because the rest of the comic was great.
It's worth mentioning that this comic isn't for the faint of heart as well. It is quite brutal in its depiction of murder, and there's also some nudity mixed in as well (Only on one page, but still). Considering this comic was created by the director of SAW, this should be expected.

The artwork of this series is absolutely gorgeous, the story is interesting if a little cliche but overall this was a really fun read.
