nekojiru67 This is a low-budget, shot on video film about a group of teens who are sent into an abandoned, cursed meat-packing plant to take an inventory of its contents. The teens reawaken an Aztec-demon-possessed butcher who killed his coworkers 40 years ago (oops!) and are possessed and murdered one by one.The good: nice location, reasonably well-lit, though more variation in the large empty rooms would have added to the film. For the most part the actors (especially the main teen in charge of the inventory) do a good job.The bad: hammy butcher villain isn't scary, Aztec curse "rules" never really explained, little plot problems (characters screaming at one end of a basement aren't heard by other characters a few hallways/rooms away?), awkwardly handled nudity.You've got a ghost/demon that only appears to people who are just about to be killed, yet the film never really does anything special with that. The characters always wait/watch him close in on them and kill them, instead of, say, telling their friends where he's at in the room so they can help fight him off. Some scenes of the butcher menacing a teen (especially the final showdown) are ANNOYINGLY edited with lots of cuts. Eventually the scenes become boring.After watching the movie I was left with the feeling that it could have been so much more.

info-6816 I do not know how anyone could give this a rating over 5 let alone close to 10. It was painful to sit through. The characters were cliché, the special effects average and the script was not anything special. I could not give anything less than one star or I would have.I am a fan of horrors and can often see enjoyment in even lowly ranked movies. This one though was a major letdown. The story of a cursed house, a evil butcher and a group of teens could be made to work, with the right producer.I would say I wish I had never watched it, but I collect horrors so this is just another for that. It is not something I will ever watch again and I hope my review saves someone else the time I wasted.

HumanoidOfFlesh Christopher Hutson's "Butcher House" was recently released in Poland on DVD,so naturally I had to buy it expecting nasty and gruesome gorefest.Unfortunately the film left me a little bit disappointed.In the mid 1960's slaughterhouse worker Sam Gaines becomes possessed by an ancient Aztec spirit and promptly butchers his co-workers including the owner's eldest son.The owner closes the slaughterhouse.Forty years later the building is sold to Stan Williams,who intends to convert the place into condos.He sends his son Tyler and five of his son's friends to clear out the place.One of the teenagers unleashes the evil spirit of The Butcher,who starts killing them one by one."Butcher House" is just average.It certainly offers plenty of blood and gore,but the acting is weak and there are some irritating plot holes.The location is truly creepy,though.If you like slasher flicks you can give it a look.

McJohnny-1 I was fortunate enough to see the world premier of this movie @ the Eerie Horror Film Fest. The movie kept you on your seat and looking over your shoulder the whole time.I was able to meet some of the actors and man they were all a great group of people.Lighting was awesome, most movies in dark places you can see anything not Butcher House. Very well done. I think this movie puts a lot of super high budget films to shame.The acting was also spectacular, which lacks in most horror movies. I can't wait to see more From you guys... It will definitely be something I'll "Wanna Watch"!!!
