Jack B Started out ok. Devolved into corny cliches. Good violence; that’s about it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Steve D It is bargain basement despite Roberts. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Audience Member Eric Roberts is a mid level gangster with a gambling problem in this low budget film written and Directed by Jesse V. Johnson. Roberts is actually very compelling in the lead. There are many other actors that appear in subsequent Johnson films, like David Keith. The small town feel and characters are two of the strongest elements of the film. As in all Johnson films there is action, betrayal, and violence. There are some element that need tightening up here as it was an early Johnson film but the seeds of many stronger and later films are here. I would add another 1/2 a star if you a fan, or aficionado, of Johnson films. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Truly appalling - for some reason Prime recommended this to me - it should not be recommended to anyone Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Certain to make your stomach churn. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member The above description, photo, and film length are not for the film I am reviewing, but the year is the same and it was directed by Kim Jin-Won. I am reviewing the South Koren cinema-verite/found-footage horror film directed by Kim Kin-Won. That being said, I don't recommend The Butcher. A cross between the American August Underground films and the Japanese Guinea Pig films, The Butcher has an interesting premise: it alternates between the killer's viewpoint and the viewpoint of the victims who have had cameras strapped to their heads. What developes alternates between boring for the most part and completely twisted and sickening in snippets. Unfortunately, The Butcher makes August Underground's Mordum seem like a film with substance. It is just pure exploitation fare. Like some of the Guinea Pig films, it feels almost like pornography with staged mutilation instead of sex. Mostly boring, The Butcher is genuinely twisted when its plot is not dragging, which is saying something given its 75-minute run tim, but it is a film without depth that will only make you feel degraded for watching it.
