2/5
Despite Phillips' cleaver-wielding swagger... Butchers is pretty much dead meat, an amalgam of worn-out tropes unsuccessfully zombified to life. Go to Full Review
Martin Unsworth Starburst 03/09/2021
3/5
While it won't win any awards for originality, it's a fun watch for those with a stomach and in the mood for another 'hillbillies with a cannibal brother' flick. Go to Full Review
Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut 02/18/2021
2/5
One to watch if you really, really wish there were more hillbilly horror films, or if you have a bingo card of horror tropes handy. Otherwise, not. Go to Full Review
Tom Beasley Flickering Myth 02/17/2021
2/5
A gory trudge through horror tropes, entirely lacking in any sense of gleeful malevolence or gritty thrills. Damningly, it just sort of exists. Go to Full Review
Lucy Buglass Love Horror 12/14/2020
2/5
Butchers is watchable, but it really doesn't bring anything new to the genre so some fans may be disappointed if the synopsis drew them in. Go to Full Review

3/5
Butchers has some interesting new ideas and pushes the genre into some exciting directions. It tries hard to rise above its genre cliches, but doesn't quite succeed. Go to Full Review

Pete S Nov 26 I liked this movie. It's a well known format in terms of the plot but engaging and well made. I follow Simon Phillips work and film by film, he's growing as an artistic presence. I really enjoyed Dystopia, being a sci-fi buff, but from his earlier 'Jack' films to this and the Age of the Living Dead mini series, I find him very watchable and the productions ever improving. Watch this, watch them and I think you'll agree. See more Dan W @Dan1964 Apr 1 Dude with a Karen haircut. Can’t get any better See more Andrew R Mar 27 I got a Rotten Tomatoes account just to rate this movie. I cannot recommend less. I think possibly the worst movie I have ever watched. So boring and unoriginal. They should have cut it by 30 minutes (but I was skipping around anyway. A waste of my life. Absolutely horrible. I would give it 0 stars if possible. See more Ricardo d Mar 16 Se considerar de modo geral o filme, ele é ruim. Mas se formos esquarteja-lo como ele mesmo faz, temos que dizer que ele bebe da mesma fonte do massacre da serra elétrica e outros deformados do gênero. Os personagens rasos e feitos para morrer, como sempre, e o fim chega a ser um alívio. Mas a edição ajuda a manter o ritmo, mesmo que a história não ajude. See more Quint S 11/20/2024 A hopeless 90 minutes of the slow death and dismemberment. Not scary, just unnecessarily gory and dumb. No winners, no losers. A true waste of ~90 minutes of my life. See more Dan C 10/04/2024 Nonsensical, unoriginal crap. Don't waste your time. See more Read all reviews
