Guardian

Despite Phillips' cleaver-wielding swagger... Butchers is pretty much dead meat, an amalgam of worn-out tropes unsuccessfully zombified to life.

Rated: 2/5

Film Focus Online

Butchers doesn't do anything else aside from causing a queasy stomach, and for many will just be another slow and anti-climactic gory flick with boring protagonists and one dimensional villains.

Rated: 2/5

Starburst

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.

Rated: 3/5

Ready Steady Cut

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.

Rated: 2/5

Flickering Myth

A gory trudge through horror tropes, entirely lacking in any sense of gleeful malevolence or gritty thrills. Damningly, it just sort of exists.

Rated: 2/5

Love Horror

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.

Rated: 2/5

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.

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.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

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.

Poor story line, seen it in too many bad films. Sub par acting and why do the hillbillies all have perfect teeth? They live in a dilapidated home but with an apparently excellent dental plan. NOT recommend for anyone who has an I.Q. Boo…..
