Butchers

Great cinematography and very dark. Slow middle offset by good suspense, and the final act is really cool. Not sure how some people gave this a 1 or 2...it's actually really good.

Texas chainsaw meets wrong turn. acting is ok, storyline is simple and very predictable. effects are ok. lots of screaming and a few jumps, a monster. kind of deiverance family bump into a group of teenage kids. there is a lot of movies of this ilk out there that are a lot worse, but there is far more out there that are far better. its worth a watch , but only once.

This movie had the feel of Wrong Turn, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and even a hint of Hills Have Eyes. It's not a bad movie. I can't figure out why cars keep breaking down in the same area. I could understand if it was a flat tire (like in Hills Have Eyes) but engine troubles in both cars? I also wish we were given a little more back story on the family and/or the teens. But the movie held my attention and I was interested to see how it would end. If anyone wants to enjoy a nice little gory slasher film that pays homage to the bigger titles listed above, you might get some enjoyment from this one.

Butchers is so unoriginal you know what's going to happen at every "Wrong Turn," still it's alright. Simon Phillips does a decent job as lead butcher. We know almost nothing about the characters, except they're cheating on each other. Pretty forgettable, but you can do a lot worse than this.
