Butcher Boys (2013)

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

So what even is happening in this movie? All of the actors are ridiculous, and the music is TOO over the top. So many of the fighting scenes are obviously fake and this movie is a waste of 10 GTR's if you ask me. No but seriously, it's so bloody weird, and I've seen all scary movies before. Please don't even waste your precious time watching this crap. Just when you think it's about to end, some more weird stuff happens. There's a mutant thing that keeps making noise and is just horribly distracting. I'm pretty sure it's about weird cannibals, but I don't even know. The movie skips to different scenes way too quickly, and when the bad guys get shot they don't even get hurt !Plus the booby scenes aren't real :(

First of all, I don't normally even post reviews for movies(Very Rarely), but really felt the need in this case. Many horror fans, who actually do read reviews first, could possibly miss out on an extremely entertaining film in my own personal opinion! I totally dug Butcher Boys and all of the absolute insanity that revolved around these 'twisted' psychos. This was definitely a brutally insane and very chaotic horror flick, that WILL have its fans!!! Butcher Boys was honestly one of the Most Outrageous and Bizarre movies I have seen in a Long Time by far that kept me on the edge of my seat! I thought it was great and it was without a doubt...90 minutes of Pure Madness!!!

Greetings, a lot of people don't like this movie as much while watching it. All I can do is provide you a breakdown of why I actually enjoyed it and you can take away what you will. Opinions may differ. Alright, some of the acting was shod, and some of the scenes felt silly. Most of the good guy characters were meh but the main female wasn't bad, a lot of main females have terrible sounding screams etc but I found her pretty good and not annoying (a plus right?).. On the other hand some of the villains were rather enjoyable, with points going to Johnny Walter. His screen presence and attitude felt comfortable and natural and very fitting for the collected "boss" of the villains. When it comes to the story if you compare it to a lot of other horror films that have higher ratings I suppose it has a lot more substance. I mean look at most of the Friday the 13th films (to which I am a fan), teens go back to crystal lake for some reason and jason chases and kills them, the end. That's the case with a lot of horror films. Or there is a weak plot thrown in as a excuse for torture porn and rape. I am not saying there is some in depth story or plot twists here, you are at least provided with some crazy setting and characters. As for the characters most of the good guys/victims were more or less forgettable, not a lot of substance but there rarely is in horror. The villains on the other hand were rather enjoyable for me, I liked their mix of rockabilly look (and I guess one looks like joaquin pheonix) and attitudes and the way they acted around each other. They at least made the effort to add various bits of personality to the various characters, some more than others. Music was mostly subtle, eerie sounds etc, nothing fantastic but better than some of the zombie movies lately that blast some trash garage metal. Atmosphere was nice, lots of eerie abandoned little areas and set pieces. Lighting wasn't too dark, off, or weird. The camera work and sound quality was quite decent, not much to say. Basic decent camera work. Well done. Wasn't too ridiculously overly gory and the shots of gore were not terrible, nothing tremendously new but nothing stupid either. And drum roll please NO RAPESCENE IN THIS FILM! I couldn't believe it! I finally get to sit down and watch a good old b horror gore film and didn't have to watch a shitty forced in rape scene. There is some nudity in the film though. There were some stupid parts yes of course, its a horror film. If a horror film void of stupid parts gets made it will probably lose its horror tag. The Amphead guy screaming into the speakers was midly annoying after a bit. I don't think the film is meant to be taken too seriously of course. I struggle between giving this a 6 (one over mediocre, enjoyable but not special) to a 7 which warrants a rather greater bit of interest I felt while watching so I suppose for now I will settle on a 6.5 Hopefully I provided a little insight. Would recommend more for horror fans and gore fans especially those who can sit back and enjoy the crazy.

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!
