DiCaprio74 This movie was terrible. For starters, you could clearly see how fake the back drop of the Space Needle in Seattle was, they were in some phony abandoned town, the cops for some reason knew about the crimes happening, but decided to be against it and the rest, is just pitiful. Who in their right minds would think that this movie is scary? It was no were near frightening. It was beyond horrible. They should make a perfect place in hell for this movie.  The characters sucked majorly, as if they were only getting paid in Bitcoins, there was some strange monster thing that just kept making sounds and that whole town was just unrealistic. The reviewers who are saying that this movie was great, must be a relative of the cast member or a staff from the movie. Do not give in, it's a terrible film, STAY AWAY FROM IT. I find it hilarious how even the director commented on my tweet about how terrible it was. I think he even knows it was a piece of crap.

W-vick007 So after looking through the other reviews I realized that people were only writing good ones to trick others. Let me do you a favor, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! I should begin by saying that I LOVE cheesy slasher films. I appreciate unbelievable and over the top. I get it when the blood is outlandish and the girl always trips in the chase scene. This movie looked like it could have been that... But it wasn't. Not even a little bit!I am still unsure how the production staff was able to get a studio to pay for this film to happen but they did... There are random scenes that have absolutely nothing to do with the movie. The black dude with the chainsaw is a horrific actor and over acts his role as far as he can possibly go. The worst part is near the end where there is this weird monster thing chained up that just keeps screaming at the top of his lungs and there is no point for it. There are a lot of parts where the entire cast is talking at once making it literally impossible to understand any of the dialogue. Finally when you think everything is winding down is when the movie gets the most ridiculous and the director throws in every movie prop he could get his hands on. This director attempted to make cannibal version of lost boys in a restaurant with sloth chained in the corner. Need I keep explaining how bad this movie is?

Greenzombidog Four kids out for some fun upset the wrong gang of cannibal greasers and are chased around a city at night while being picked off one by one. The script for Butcher boys was written by the writer of the original Texas chainsaw massacre with most of the ideas from that movie being regurgitated here only slightly tweaked. Several scenes are reused which dampens the impact as you've seen it before. It also borrows from other films most notably Judgement night.In its favour Butcher boys does have a pleasingly nihilistic tone as once the film gets going nothing is explained. Who are these rockabilly cannibals? Why are the cops scared of them? Just what is that weird restaurant/gentlemans club they're running all about? But the tentative approach to the violence portrayed is at odds with the gonzo storytelling. Apart from two or three slightly graphic scenes the blood and gore is fairly minimal. This could be due to budget constraints. If I so I would have maybe saved the money spent on the constant nighttime aerial shots and spent that money on more prosthetic effects. A little more violence would have pushed this film up another notch on the crazy level making it that little bit more memorable. The nihilism does eventually reach it's apex in the finale when all hell breaks lose. Unfortunately this scene also turns a few things already set up in the film on its head. Making you question even further the lack of coherence.I did find watching Butcher boys a fairly frustrating experience. I could definitely feel the opportunity for a good if not great movie in there somewhere. Visually it's very competent, it's well filmed and has a certain visual style all credit to the directors achieving this on a minimal budget. The sound and score are also strong. On the whole the performances are good with the odd exception. The problem lies mainly with the script, it borrows too much from other films, some of it could be classed as a knowing wink or nod to the writers previous work. Although had it been written by anyone else I think we'd be calling it plagiarism. In the end I was left neither loving or hating the film hence the score. Maybe on a second viewing I'd like it more, but at the moment the only taste left in my mouth is vanilla.

helgar30 Best way to describe this move was that it was all over the place. No characters were fleshed out, no back stories, no reason to love the "final girl." It's a shame because I enjoyed the lead actress in "Bad Kids Go to Hell." Sure there are old school actors in here that TCM fans will get a kick out of, but even they are glossed over. The characters come in and out of scenes that drag out and don't seem to go anywhere. If the writer just stuck to writing another TCM sequel maybe things could have worked. Maybe. The director seems to have no idea where he wants to go with the story. I'm all for quirky characters and random acts of "what the hell" moments, but this was too much. And that ending...I guess you could say it was a fitting ending to such a mess. Don't believe the high marks that some other reviewers gave this movie. But don't take my word for it, watch it yourself if you think I'm being harsh in my critique. I saw this on Netflix streaming and for every stinker of a horror film such as this, there are some great ones that are available this month such as Maniac, Grabbers, American Mary, and VHS2. Even Texas Chainsaw 3D was better than this and that's not saying much!
