If you thought sloths were just cute, slow, sweet creatures, Slotherhouse is here to change your mind.

Following in the footsteps of ridiculous killer animal B-movies like Sharknado, Slotherhouse pits a group of sorority sisters against one sloth. Should be an easy match-up, right? After all, how hard can it be to run from a sloth?

According to the film's wild first trailer, the answer is very.

Turns out the sloth, named Alpha, might have been faking being an adorable, slo-mo superstar. Instead, she's a cunning beast capable of surfing the internet (yes, really) and making you into mincemeat with her frightening claws. We're sure she'd be great friends with Cocaine Bear.

Slotherhouse hits theaters Aug. 30.
