Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

MierdaDeToro Just when you were convinced that (1): plagiarism is illegal, and (2): Lions Gate means quality; here is this steaming pile of cinema in which, if you were convinced anything, it's that even you can write a bad, unimaginative movie and convince a moron or two to capture it on celluloid. Just like bands that copy each other's riffs, this "movie" more than borrows, but hijacks elements from said titles. What we have here is your six attractive twentysomethings...on their way to...Vegas.Why are young people in horror movies always going to Vegas? Never anywhere else, it's always Vegas. Are they all gonna get together and make one collective bad movie or something? But I digress.Any horror movies with pretty people going to Vegas (or anywhere, for that matter) always begins with car trouble. Here, it's the telltale flat tire. If people in horror movies took care of their vehicles, there'd probably be no horror movies.You got the D-Bag With Blond Girlfriend couple, the Bi-Racial couple, and the Lesbian couple. Charming, indeed.In a brief synopsis: They change the tire, get accosted by a big ugly truck, play games with the truck, get one of the lesbians chopped in half (quite bloodlessly, I may add. There were no intestines flying or blood spewing, just some fake legs in jeans), freak out, run for help, and find...you guessed it...a creepy farmhouse. There is actually a line in the movie said by D-Bag, "don't you guys watch horror movies? You don't go in the creepy farmhouse". Is this intended as a sort of self-deprecation on the part of the movie makers in that they know they fkkked up...? (symbolism of sorts?) But Wait! There's More! People start getting killed by the mad couple living in the Creepy Farmhouse, including, as predicted, the only cop to actually investigate the matter. A chainsaw enters the picture...Tobe Hooper's lawyers were probably calling at this point. It's bad enough they had the balls to steal half of the last name from TCM for the Mad Couple ("Mayhew" from Hewitt. I couldn't have faked it better).In the end, a couple of them survive. Somebody had to live to tell the story, always armed with the defense: "I didn't write this, really. I just acted in it".If you've been living in a cave, under a rock, or have been in a coma since 1973, see this movie.If you know better, you probably wouldn't be reading this.

Claudio Carvalho While driving to Las Vegas with his college friends Rachel (Catherine Wreford), Liz (Tiffany Kristensen), Atlanta (Ashley Rebecca Hawkins), Sophie (Myiea Coy) and Adam (Tom NageL), the selfish and wealthy Mark (Alan Ritchson) decides to take a shortcut. Mark stresses with the driver of an old tow truck, and suddenly he sees a woman crossing the road and has a serious car accident. His friend Liz dies, and Mark and Adam run after the girl, who is wounded. The group decides to seek help while Atlanta stays with the severed body of Liz in the car. They find an old house in the woods where a family of psychopaths lives and they are chased by the insane family.One that reads my summary above would immediately recalls "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "The Hills Have Eyes", "Wrong Turn", "Timber Falls", "House of Wax", "Wolf Creek", "House of 1000 Corpses" and probably another dozen rip-offs of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and remakes. Therefore, there is no originality in the predictable plot. However, the unknown cast has many young actors and actresses and their performances are not bad. I agree that this routine of repeating and repeating the same storyline is annoying, but "The Butcher" has qualities and is not as bad as mentioned in many reviews. As an incentive to the young cast, my vote is six.Title (Brazil): "O Açougueiro" ("The Butcher")

lastliberal There is no doubt that seeing Tiffany Kristensen flash the Butcher is the highlight of this film. Everything else has been seen before in other horror movies.Obnoxious frat boy, token African-American, lesbians, and, oh-my-gosh, a chainsaw. How original! At least it was put to good use getting rid of the most irritating characters.Oh, that flash in the beginning, that's it for the nudity. There really isn't much gore in this film. I would have given it a PG-13, instead of an R.Stay on the main road, people.

Lars Gustavsson Are you freakin' kiddin' me? There's a lot of bad horror films out there and this is one of 'em. Sometimes the filmmakers choose to make 'em bad by purpose due to low budgets etc.. That way at least you can be entertained. "The butcher", I'm not sure about. Did they make the film this bad by purpose or do all involved crew members really suck. The acting is below average. Not the worst performances I've seen but they're not good. The director seems to have no idea on how to build suspense or how to direct for that matter. The photography is okay. Not the best but okay. The budget of 750 000 $ is spent badly, I think. With a little imagination they could have spent it much better. But all this is not the worst thing about this film. The script, oh, the script. How in Gods name a production company ever picked this script up, I'll never know. The script is just terrible, awful.. well... not good. I'll rate this film 3 out of 10. It's possible to sit through it. Just don't get your hopes up for any scares. Prepare yourselves for laughs instead.
