Butchers Bluff

This movie is a great inspiration and tribute to slashers movies. The acting and effects are great for an independent film. The story is interesting with some surprising dark secrets. The few horror veteran cameos is a plus with some good screen time. This movie will show you to not bully others or else you get what's coming to you, so hold on to your popcorn and buts. Get ready for a bloody good time. Director William Instone is this generations next Eli Roth and Adam Green. He isn't afraid to go all in heavy and gory. I'm so anxious to see more of his gruesome creative mind. I'm so ready........

Butchers Bluff swings straight from the blood-soaked heart of 80s slashers, campy, chaotic, and chopped full of carnage. The kills? Axes to the max. The practical effects are killer (literally). It doesn't just nod to the classics, it charges at them with an axe. The story takes you on a wild ride and the characters are true to any old 80s horror film. This movie is horrific and bloody disgusting in the best way!

I met The Hog Man himself in Texas on Saturday... and lived to squeal about it. If you love your horror; wild, gory, and grinning with menace, Butchers Bluff is a must-chop... I mean, must-watch.

The other reviews will be best for finding out about the film. Mine is more about bringing some balance.

I came across this title by accident and was excited when I saw a 7/10 on IMDb. 7/10 is pretty difficult for horror films to get so thought oh this must be great. Nope, acting was mid and disjointed, editing was off - always too long a pause between characters, pacing was very slow with no real payoff in either creepiness or scares. Other than sharing 80's tropes this really doesn't feel like 80's horror at all. More like everything else Tubi has at the moment.

The 7/10 must be bot inflated because whilst this is not a bad horror film it really is just very average so would realistically be around 4/10.

Butchers Bluff gets off to an appropriate start with a gratuitous display of breasts as a couple go at it in a pick up. And it's not long after that that they fall victim to The Hogman, an escaped mental patient named Alex (William Instone, The Sawyer Massacre, Damsel of the Doomed), who allegedly lives in this stretch of woods and is responsible for 28 deaths over the past twenty years.

This has caught the attention of a group of college students, after Roger (Michael Fischer, Up on the Housetop, A Stream That Led to Nowhere ) stumbles upon the story, and he and his associates Nicole (Paige Steakley, Sacred Mask, Lowriders vs Zombies from Space) and Derick (Johnny Huang, Attack of the Unknown, Fear the Walking Dead) decide to make a film a documented on the subject for their next assignment for Prof. Hooper's class and for a bit of fun on the side, they bring along their friends Samantha(Samantha Holland,The Massacre on Halloween Night,Eyes of a Roman) Tina (Kayla Anderson,When Wendy Grew Up, Generation Hope)Bobby (Dakota Millett, Time to Fight, Alita: Battle Angel) and Jake (Santiago Sky, Hollow Lake, The Blood Order) for some after hours partying, what else is there to do in the middle of nowhere?

If your wanting a horror movie the has the feel of the 80's and the feel for the texas chainsaw massacre 1974, or just wanting a good slasher flick, you are in for a treat. The feel of the movie has a great feel for the texas chainsaw massacre. Definitely heavy influences. The kills are great. Storyline is good, the backstory for Alex is good. Acting is good. Characters are pretty decent. Some familiar actors and actress. For a slasher fan film it's definitely. A great watch. A++++. Would recommend this one for any horror fans. I definitely hope to have a sequel cause it definitely set it up for one.
