A gut-wrenching, non-stop roller coaster ride through the hellish underbelly of inner-city America. A birthday celebration at an upscale restaurant sets in motion events that bring Sissy, her brother, Mikey, and friends, Kenny and Barbie, face to face with the macabre world of the Boneboys. Inspired by Jonathan Swift's cannibalistic tale A Modest Proposal, the Boneboys are international predators who deal in human flesh - dead or alive. Their hunting grounds are the cities of the world.

This was a Texas Chainsaw wannabe. Not even a good one at that. Thin plot and bad ending....Horrible. No back story, just a bunch of crap. This movie did not give any sort of story line. Just a bunch of cannibals I think. I was not able to follow anything in this movie. Oh the special effects were decent, but that was about it. I really think that they were going for a Chainsaw type movie by basing it in Texas. Totally missed in my opinion. Really a guy in a medical uniform with a cattle prod and next he is wearing a dress...really. A another guy running around greased up with lard or something. Where did he come from? Just really not enough explanation and too broken up. Scenes did not gel at all.

You know how some art museums of sh*t like a piece of plywood with a stripe on it and they call it art and sell it for $5,000? Well this movie is that. It was all over the place, I don't understand what the hell happened in it, made no sense at all, I don't even think a plot was apparent in any aspect. The whole thing was just completely and utterly, indescribably idiotic. I cant even, i just cant right now. Its so f****** bad that I'm writing a review, thats pretty frickin bad. I have to cleanse my mind with anything else right now, even Honey-Boo-Boo or Miley Cyrus would be better than that movie. And trust me, that is saying a whoooole lot from me.

Let me preface this as many reviewers start: I signed up to this site to write a review on this movie. Though it wasn't so bad. The acting was lacking, of course, but what could we expect from a cannibal horror movie set in a subway? The female actresses are beautiful and the plot is great for all slasher fans. The ending may make you squirm in the Rob Zombie ways but please, there are so many terrible flicks and even more worse plots that you can see on a midnight review. If you're a fan of old school slashers, forget what you see on the internet and watch this movie. The guts and gore at the end may cater to your taste. Really, if you're a fan of old school horror films with glowing faced female leads getting disintegrated, ignore all bad reviews and check out this movie.

Now this is some strange movie. It already had me reeled in with the strange intro and straightforward title sequence that only shows aerial footage of houses and streets. The paper thin plot unfolds pretty fast with a bunch of teens on a night out starting out in a restaurant and then quickly descending into chaos after the drunk party girl first gets two guys angry at a filling station that start a car chase with the 4 teens. Not even 10 minutes into the movie and they are in deep sh*t already... the 2 guys seem pretty aggravated and you are prepared for the worst when the whole thing turns around in a sudden twist just to get the 4 teens involved with some even weirder nutters. Now that is basically what the movie goes on like... its a continuous roller coaster ride on a downward spiral into utter madness. "Butcher Boys" has a strange brooding atmosphere with sudden explosive outburst of violence and plays heavily on horror clichés with endless chases through dark alleys and derelict buildings. The thugs chasing the teens are a strange mix of 60ies leather jacket Italian rockers and supernatural demons... has a strong "Sometimes they come back" feeling.After some pretty drawn out chases the movie turns into a bizarre Texas Chainsaw Massacre direction when the girls are abducted into a underground society that just gets weirder and weirder... weird doctors, chained monster, a girl with Stockholm syndrome, cannibal orgies and plans to breed a monster baby...it just gets weirder and weirder and there is never a way out and always a more terrifying monster behind the exit door.Seems like your typical horror fare and borrows from the classics. But what makes "Butcher Boys" special is that it includes a lot of humorous elements that could be taken as normal horror stupidity. But honestly... scenes like when the girl is locked in a dark room, then finds a blowtorch to light the darkness and look around and then with the blowtorch finds dynamite or several ridiculously drawn out scenes hiding in lockers or sneaking around a sleeping fat guy are obviously making fun of the genre. When a girl is crawling under the floorboards with every now and then creepy hands grabbing for her it has the feeling of an annoying "tunnel of horror" ride. But while many horror movies use these elements seriously it just has to be satire here... if anything the scene with the girl hiding in front of a TV shop with a TV playing uplifting music and flower videos should prove that this is a pitch black comedy. There are so many tongue-in-cheek jokes and when psychos in drag are running around and starting a giant shootout with machine guns and bazookas its just WTF on heavy rotation.I found the movie strangely fascinating since it mixed the humor with a dense horror movie atmosphere in a rather untypical way that kept the movie entertaining up until the end that was just about as dumb as way too many other movies.Like someone else said.... get your buddies and some beers and have fun. Its sure an entertaining ride but there are some elements that are thrown in (considering the title they should be important I guess) but just end up on the sidelines with all the crazy stuff happening. So don't even expect a proper plot!
