Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Burkettonhe This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

strange-eons Just simply awful. A complete waste of film and people. You will watch a cliché cast stumble through a horridly contrived plot with some of the most hideous editing ever. A laughable killer who looks like a lost Quaid brother chases kids through an old damned building they are supposed to be surveying(!). Each character makes the dumbest choices imaginable as to ensure that they die on cue. The lighting is beyond dark, and a deep thrum accompanies all of the kills. Did I mention the camera work? Uninspired. This is not a movie, but moreso a film created by people who THINK they know what people want to see. Dreadful, insulting, it is the cinematic equivalent to vomit.

info-6816 I do not know how anyone could give this a rating over 5 let alone close to 10. It was painful to sit through. The characters were cliché, the special effects average and the script was not anything special. I could not give anything less than one star or I would have.I am a fan of horrors and can often see enjoyment in even lowly ranked movies. This one though was a major letdown. The story of a cursed house, a evil butcher and a group of teens could be made to work, with the right producer.I would say I wish I had never watched it, but I collect horrors so this is just another for that. It is not something I will ever watch again and I hope my review saves someone else the time I wasted.

HumanoidOfFlesh Christopher Hutson's "Butcher House" was recently released in Poland on DVD,so naturally I had to buy it expecting nasty and gruesome gorefest.Unfortunately the film left me a little bit disappointed.In the mid 1960's slaughterhouse worker Sam Gaines becomes possessed by an ancient Aztec spirit and promptly butchers his co-workers including the owner's eldest son.The owner closes the slaughterhouse.Forty years later the building is sold to Stan Williams,who intends to convert the place into condos.He sends his son Tyler and five of his son's friends to clear out the place.One of the teenagers unleashes the evil spirit of The Butcher,who starts killing them one by one."Butcher House" is just average.It certainly offers plenty of blood and gore,but the acting is weak and there are some irritating plot holes.The location is truly creepy,though.If you like slasher flicks you can give it a look.

ttboy200 Finally a bloody horror flick! Rented on video on demand and loved it. Although I wasn't sold on the Aztec story, I was sold on the Butcher. I don't see this movie as a big movie, but it does rank up there with a good horror. I have to disagree with "asshemp" on the story. I liked the story and the way the teens were caught up in the Butcher's killings. By the way the blood was great! This kind of flick wouldn't work with comedy, what worked was the way the Butcher killed the kids as they were stuck in the old place. I do agree it seemed a bit classic horror, but I had fun, so what.The acting was great, and I thought the director made it very scary, and the way the lighting and the dirty look of the scenes. Although the characters were typical, I thought they were believable. A great change from the bimbos and dumb jocks. Refreshing!
