    Worth Watching / Beware Poorly Written

    I like the concept of the film. I enjoyed much of the acting. I especially enjoyed Maria Olsen. The cinematography was good for a low budget film, but lacked variety. The basic plot was interesting, but didnt failed to fully develop. The writing is what destroyed this film. The plot, story and characters were all underdeveloped. My advice, get a new writer.

    Brilliant horror movie A+

    From start to finish this is clearly a love letter to such films as Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the lead Michael Moutsatsos reminds us of Joe Spinell (Maniac) clearly Michael Moutsatsos is on to something. The cast Maria Olsen shines as his mother. Can't wait to see The Butcher 2

    A horrifying culinary treat!

    The practical effects are bloody and perfect. The story is unique, and original. The maniac is demented and truly terrifying. This is a shining star in the field of indies.
