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.

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."

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.

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.
This is a nothing movie. It's a bare bones knock off of Texas Chainsaw without any of the iconic characters that make it interesting. There's not even any lore or story here to explain any of it. People's cars break down while passing through and a few people show up to dispatch them...off screen mind you. There's not even any gore to be found here. There's a little bit of Hills Have Eyes in that one woman is impregnated, but it's literally 10 minutes of the entire movie.
It's shot well is the only positive, they had some good angles and production, but there is no real story. The acting is what it is...there's no story so it's just them spouting their lines. It's not scary, or dramatic, or mysterious...it's literally just 2 groups of people breaking down and being preyed upon by southern hillbilly stereotypes...and they weren't even good or had any accent.
It's just a trash movie shot with a good camera, don't bother.

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.

Great poster, terrible movie. Found myself unable to care about any of the characters. Was this supposed to be a slow burn, or was it s 30 minute script stretched to the length of a feature film?

If the writers and producer intended for Butchers to be mind-numbing~ score. They nailed it.
The title fits Owen and Oswald like a glove. The idea of being stuck in the middle of freaking no-where with psychotic soulless maniacs who have absolutely no decency whatsoever nor a scintilla of regard for human life itself... this is the stuff nightmares are made of. Or night terrors.
I inadvertently hollered a couple of times. But it also gave me like just a sense of disgust. Like a funk. The kind that makes you dizzy.
I think next time I'll read the reviews first. Butchers is graphic. I wish I could've been a bit more mentally prepared for that.

They're butchers, and they butcher people. The character development wasn't great, but O was engaged for the entire movie and the acting of the brothers was very good. It's a neat little slasher with a bit of gore, no real twists so it's good to watch when you don't want to think too much!

I just want to be entertained and happy that's all, I can only spare 2 hours of free time per day so even if a movie is horrible as long as I'm entertained nothing else matters, and this movie is very entertaining!

"Butchers" is a Horror movie in which we watch a group of friends facing a family of butchers on a remote place after their car broke down. They have to try their best in order to escape by this family because after their capturing they do not have any other choice.
I did not have high expectations from this movie so, I was not disappointed by it. The plot was very simple but this was not the problem, the problem was the direction and the interpretations of the cast. I understand that it's a low budget movie but we have watched other and far better low budget movies than this one. Lastly, I have to say that "Butchers" is a below average horror movie that I do not recommend it to anyone because I am sure that you won't enjoy it. If you want to watch a horror movie I am sure that you will find a better movie than this.

Well, granted I hadn't even heard about this 2020 horror movie titled "Butchers" before now in 2021 as I had the chance to sit down to watch it. And it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen was, of course, sufficient enough to make me opt to sit down to watch it.
Turns out that "Butchers" from writers Adrian Langley and Daniel Weissenberger was just another run-of-the-mill movie about a deranged family living in the remote countryside where they prey upon travelers that happen to come by. The family captures, tortures and kills their prey with everything available to them. Yeah, this is something that has been seen dozens of times already in other movies, like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "The Hills Have Eyes", "Wrong Turn", etc. And keep in mind, a lot of movies does it better than "Butchers".
Sure, "Butchers" was watchable enough, but for a seasoned horror veteran and gorehound as myself, then "Butchers" just didn't really cut it - pardon the pun. The movie was just too bland and generic. I suppose, if you are new to the horror genre and not familiar with movies like the aforementioned titles, then you might find some enjoyment in this 2020 movie.
The acting in the movie was adequate enough for a movie of this particular subgenre of horror. However, you shouldn't go expecting to see some stellar performances though. You pretty much know what you get from a movie such as "Butchers".
Visually then "Butchers" was actually not too bad. I mean, there is an okay amount of mayhem and gore in the movie. However, again "Butchers" just doesn't step out of the mediocre circle, and everything presented in the movie is something that has been seen in other movies, and often done better in other movies as well.
It should be said, though, that the ending of the movie was actually good. In fact, that was the best part of the movie. I liked the ending, I have to admit that, but it just was too little and too late to make amends for the rest of the movie.
All in all, "Butchers" wasn't an impressive movie from director Adrian Langley. It was watchable, but it was also generic and forgettable. It is hardly a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time, as the movie just doesn't have enough proper contents to support a second viewing.
My rating of "Butchers" settles on a generous four out of ten stars, taking into consideration that the movie isn't really bad, it was just too generic and suffered from being something that had been done countless times before it already.
