A small group of people lie battered and bound on the floor of a dirty slaughterhouse covered in blood. Scared and confused, they soon learn their captors are snuff film producers and plan to torture them as creatively and heinously as possible before brutally killing them off one–by-one. Each scene is shot from either the killer or victim’s point of view in order to fully capture the emotional torment of the prey and the unspeakable acts that will be perpetrated on their captive bodies.

So once again, unplanned and under the influence, I wandered into the unpredictable waters of horror extremism, but even this peculiarly brutal carnage failed to help me form a coherent opinion on this realm of cinema. And by realm I mean snuff or gore films (not necessarily found footage) that try to evoke certain emotions and achieve the representation of a certain idea on the basis of torture and detailed physical violence. The important word here is “try”, because so far I haven't come across a single similarly brutal horror film that managed to convey some kind of meaningful message through the blood, vomit and guts, and whose subsequent interpretation to a friend would extend beyond shallow terms like "carnage", "disgust" or "slaughter". And such is The Butcher, a heartless parade of incomprehensible human cruelty that seems to be the film's only important motif, and also of the Asian exploitation horror school that kicks story to the side and tries to achieve notoriety only through shocking, unfortunately truly primal violence. I won't rate it, because it’s impossible to give a few stars to such things, barbarically enforcing an indigestible visual taboo for many people, in order to highlight the filmmaking quality, but to be honest, I can partially recommend it to all hardened viewers. After all, everyone has slightly different film cells, not to mention stomachs.

What needs to be said about the film "The Butcher" is that it simply has an effect on the viewer. This is one of those movies that won't leave you indifferent. However, it is simply a film about how it is possible to do horrible things to other people. I am against senseless violence, which is probably the main reason why I find these kinds of movies disgusting. But as I said, it cannot be denied that they simply have an effect.
