I saw this little bit of horror with its cast of virtually unknowns (although, one of them looked like a guy I see on a soap opera...but then again, I could be wrong)with the exception for Ron Jeremy. You know what I saw...A horror movie that definitely didn't take itself too seriously....and let you know it from the start (yeah, I loved the Uncle Jesse-type character "tellin' a story"). Good gore effects and it really didn't matter if you rooted for the character or not they were good. In my opinion, if you want to waste an hour and a half and don't mind laughing your a** off, rent it and, oh yeah, break out that popcorn.

Andre the Butcher is about a satanic demon that took the place of a family man butcher who lost his family and takes up performing his profession on everyone that stops by. A ridicules film whose saving grace is that it is supposed to be demented, and that it is. Cheerleaders, convicts, and cops all get in on the act and fall prey to the butcher. Ron Jeremy plays the butcher in a way only he can. Of course with Jeremy, you would also expect to find gratuitous nudity. Luckily, it's the cheerleaders and not Jeremy. If you like mindless demented films with little redeeming qualities, this is for you. At some point during the film you will snicker and walk away shaking your head. Perhaps you can make it to the ending. And would someone please, please, kill that darn half a sheriff that keeps popping up on the screen. I bet he's even in the sequel.

So, the guys at KillerReviews.com are all over this film, praising it and kissing the director's buttocks in an interview. The review says you have to have a sense of humor to appreciate it. Well, let me say I saw the humor but was still let down unparalleled.This review is a companion to my review for "The Janitor" because there is a difference between good bad horror and bad bad horror. This is simply bad (unlike "The Janitor").The writing I think is decent, because the idea is classic horror: cheerleaders, slasher, cops, etc. But the execution was awful. The acting was very weak and the characters took themselves very seriously even though they have no skills. The music made no sense and was more of a nuisance than anything half the time (especially because it was much louder than the vocal track of the film).Some scenes made no sense. Particularly, the television scene. I guess since the film has a supernatural element to it that we can invent ways this makes sense, but I really don't want to work that hard on thinking about this. Also, the scene where the main character finds out how to stop the monster... I do not understand.The things the Killer Review guy liked: the eyeballs and the scabs... very disappointing and completely unscary and unrealistic.Even the nudity was a sham. Whiel there does exist one scene that is quite sexy, overall the women in this film are played up to be a lot more attractive than they actually are. In another review I read the girls were "homely" and this is a fair assessment. (I normally do not judge actresses on their bodies, but when you are cast as a stereotypical sexpot cheerleader and you are only average looking, the casting director really dropped the ball.) I enjoyed Ron Jeremy reattaching his arms. I enjoyed him giving the "field goal" sign when hitting people. I enjoyed the chili scene. I absolutely loved April Billingsley, who was by far the only really decent actress or actor in the movie. And I liked how the monster was defeated (don't worry, no spoilers). But these things simply were not good enough to overcome all the shortcomings. Sorry.Watch this film at your own peril. Rent or buy "The Janitor" instead.

I was given this wonderful film by a friend to watch and enjoy. The cover really made it look like another stupid horror movie. They are all the same. Thank God it wasn't. This was hilarious. The first five-minute scene (THREE POINTS!!!) is one of the funniest sequences I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. The ridiculous jokes, especially the name-calling (fartknocker), were truly hilarious. Watch this movie. And watch it without the expectations of being scared. Whenever you might get scared during this film, the director adds something like passing of gas to take away any suspense. This is a great, hilarious film starring Ron Jeremy, and should be watched and laughed at by any very mature audiences. Enjoy it for what it is.
