The Butcher

About This Movie

The Butcher from '96 is a gritty dive into the murky underbelly of crime and politics. It’s got this raw, unsettling atmosphere, you know? Young Everardo Muñoz, played by a lesser-known actor, really captures that desperate ambition—like he’s channeling something sinister. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the tension. Practical effects are surprisingly effective, especially in the more visceral scenes; there’s a real physicality to the horror here. Some performances are a bit over the top, but they fit the film's off-kilter vibe. It’s not polished, but it’s got a distinct feel that lingers long after the credits roll.
