I must admit, it was mainly the cover art for this that made me buy it. The one with the mask on the front with the title "The Butcher". Sadly the film is another yawn-fest. I can't think of any reason to recommend this film, it's not even good on a 'so bad it's good' level because it's too boring. As you may have heard it has a chase scene that seems to go on forever. Also there's some pathetic "boing" noises scattered throughout. I was getting sick of it so eventually I switched the tape off. The film was apparently made in the mid 70's and this really shows. Don't waste your time on this, the only good thing about it is the cover, if you can find the VHS version titled "The Butcher".

A powerhouse of terrible 80s cinema, you will have to re-examine your entire life after you see this film. Possible the finest example of how not to edit together a chase scene, and how to not make it less than 45 minutes long. The "psycho" comes off more like a cross between Slim Whitman and Barney Fife. Slick is definitely one of the greatest hillbilly roles ever attempted and is a finely crafted gem of character acting.If you are a fan of absolutely terrible 80s cinema, this film is not to be missed!Highly recommended.

this film is a horror master piece.one can only admire the use of editing used to make a chase last so long and tence.the way the camera is used puts the likes of tony scott to shame.the acting is a bit wooden but is made up with genuanly scary one liners like `you aint seeing nothing`.this film needs to be released on dvd and dolby digital to get the full impact .it ranks up there with juvilian as a must see.

Myself and friends first discovered this film about five years ago and have since enjoyed the film on a very comic level. The acting is bad, the characters non-descript and the editing pitiful, but with all this I have to agree that it is a work of comic genius. The extremely long chase between Slick and Mr Phillips is surely the longest in film history and Wheeler is as threatening as a lump of dead wood. The strange thing is there is a title song that appears to be written for the film which means that possibly all the budget went on this. I dont know if the film was cut for the UK release but there is nothing in this film that warrants an 18 rating. All I can say is check your car boot sales or local flea markets and try to pick up a copy of this film that will have you reciting the dialogue over and over again .
