Butchers

An ok movie. Been done better and also been done worse. Story predictable and acting ok.

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.

The acting of the two lead gentleman is absolutely fantastic. They're really talented. I think they're worth the watch. Just be aware there's some pregnancy violence or whatever. I wasn't ready for that.

If you're going to make a movie and pull from other movies, the goal should be to make it better. This movie did not do that. In fact, it made them worse. 0 story or background and just straight to two brothers who kill. A reason isn't always needed but in this case it would've helped. A lot. And is country redneck accent normal for the backwoods of Ontario? It didn't seem authentic in the least bit. The moment that girl intentionally pulled the string in the woods I literally said out loud "she deserves everything that is about to happen to her."

Really enjoyed the film as it reminds me of some of the best Horror movies of the 1980s; young, hot couples getting in hot water after going on a trip.

What is especially good is that the makers didn't over egg it or get greedy with huge amounts of ridiculously gory sequences, the plot moves fast and it's subtlety is what makes it more effective as you are locked in to believing this could happen. One of the lead characters is Owen played by Simon Phillips he has great on screen prescence, the fact he's capable of being tender to his victims and brother as well as a brute makes him all the more chilling. The movie is beautifully shot in a lush green deserted location perfect for Horror. The female leads Julie Mainville, Samantha de Benedet and Anne Carolyne Bennett are all great and the fear and terror we see in them is what makes the movie fill you with chills.

If you want a straight up scary, jumpy, 80s inspired horror this ticks all the boxes.
