They really butchered this one. I'm more shocked than the creature with the electric collar that this film was able to wrangle the budget that it did. Having watched every crappy slasher flick to ever hit a red box I can confidently say this is the WORST of them all. The first two minutes when they are in the restaurant eating cake are by far the best. By the end I was praying for cannibals to come eat me so that I wouldn't have to endure anymore of this movie. The writing was terrible, consisting mainly of screaming and guys saying "bitch" every other word. The make up and costumes were laughable, the old man with the gun looking for his daughter? Was that a leather mankini with gun holsters???? Also the scene where Barbie flashes the other car, was that a female CPR mannequin whose boobs they used? Because they sure weren't an actual persons. And where did the rocket launcher at the end come from? So many questions left unanswered. To all of those who have compared it to Texas Chainsaw Massacre, please a take a lap. And then take another because you clearly are delusional. Praying that I never have the misfortune of watching another film that involves the writer and/or directors of this one. Save your time and money and watch any of the other shitty slasher flicks on the red box queue.

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?

I threw this on for background noise, and it turned out to be pretty good to the end. It had a ethereal feeling like the Fancy restaurant that Jake, and Oy stumble upon while trying to get back to the Beam. I thought it was just another vampire movie, and I started to tune it out, but I liked the sound that kept drawing me back. The sound of a woman getting away over, and over again. That is a pretty good sound, so I was pulled in, and surprised by what I saw. This movie is what would happen if vampires ran the "Hostile" organization, but one night the kick ass survivor girl from "The Cave" shows up, and does her thing. I really ended up enjoying myself, and would recommend this to anyone who is a Buffy fan, or just likes good action/horror.

Now this is some strange movie. It already had me reeled in with the strange intro and straightforward title sequence that only shows aerial footage of houses and streets. The paper thin plot unfolds pretty fast with a bunch of teens on a night out starting out in a restaurant and then quickly descending into chaos after the drunk party girl first gets two guys angry at a filling station that start a car chase with the 4 teens. Not even 10 minutes into the movie and they are in deep sh*t already... the 2 guys seem pretty aggravated and you are prepared for the worst when the whole thing turns around in a sudden twist just to get the 4 teens involved with some even weirder nutters. Now that is basically what the movie goes on like... its a continuous roller coaster ride on a downward spiral into utter madness. "Butcher Boys" has a strange brooding atmosphere with sudden explosive outburst of violence and plays heavily on horror clichés with endless chases through dark alleys and derelict buildings. The thugs chasing the teens are a strange mix of 60ies leather jacket Italian rockers and supernatural demons... has a strong "Sometimes they come back" feeling.After some pretty drawn out chases the movie turns into a bizarre Texas Chainsaw Massacre direction when the girls are abducted into a underground society that just gets weirder and weirder... weird doctors, chained monster, a girl with Stockholm syndrome, cannibal orgies and plans to breed a monster baby...it just gets weirder and weirder and there is never a way out and always a more terrifying monster behind the exit door.Seems like your typical horror fare and borrows from the classics. But what makes "Butcher Boys" special is that it includes a lot of humorous elements that could be taken as normal horror stupidity. But honestly... scenes like when the girl is locked in a dark room, then finds a blowtorch to light the darkness and look around and then with the blowtorch finds dynamite or several ridiculously drawn out scenes hiding in lockers or sneaking around a sleeping fat guy are obviously making fun of the genre. When a girl is crawling under the floorboards with every now and then creepy hands grabbing for her it has the feeling of an annoying "tunnel of horror" ride. But while many horror movies use these elements seriously it just has to be satire here... if anything the scene with the girl hiding in front of a TV shop with a TV playing uplifting music and flower videos should prove that this is a pitch black comedy. There are so many tongue-in-cheek jokes and when psychos in drag are running around and starting a giant shootout with machine guns and bazookas its just WTF on heavy rotation.I found the movie strangely fascinating since it mixed the humor with a dense horror movie atmosphere in a rather untypical way that kept the movie entertaining up until the end that was just about as dumb as way too many other movies.Like someone else said.... get your buddies and some beers and have fun. Its sure an entertaining ride but there are some elements that are thrown in (considering the title they should be important I guess) but just end up on the sidelines with all the crazy stuff happening. So don't even expect a proper plot!
