Rating: One Thumb Up

Butcher Boys (aka Boneboys) is a movie that will have you biting your nails as you watch it. This movie is dark and senile, and it has it's comical moments as well.

Sissy, Barbie, Mickey, and Kenny are out enjoying their night for a birthday celebration. These events take a wrong turn when they unknowingly tramp on the Butcher Boys' turf during a wild car chase, and they run over and kill a dog. They come to realize that the dog belonged to the Butcher Boys. They are now on the run for their lives.

I was afraid to watch this movie alone at first. Badass Digest says the movie is "nearly unwatchable". Coming from the guy who wrote the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you can guess in what direction this movie heads.

This movie gets a little grotesque, but I wouldn't say it's the worse movie I've ever seen, or that's out in the market. This movie sits along with any other cannibal movie out there, but it also sets apart from the rest, as it brings something new to the arena. That alone deserves some credit.

The story is good, however, I wish the characters' stories were elaborated on a bit. Sissy, The Boys and their twisted family. Some insight or a brief flashback to the past on how they became what they are would have been a nice and necessary added feature. You don't really know who these people are in the movie personally. This movie is head-on in the action.

The direction is good. The directors did a good job in this film. The cast and the acting is good, especially that of Sissy. She stands a firm ground and holds a strong fight that keeps The Boys on their toes.

This movie can get a little unsettling but it is a good watch. I recommend it.

Peace.
