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.

Great Great movie, waiting for second part!!!!
1 February 2014 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Well, I'm horror/scary movie fan and want to say simply this movie you can understand clearly or not. It has meaning and I like it, I watched it two times. I don't know about others but I'm sick already with stupid movies where stupid big-tits actress running all over and screaming and so on, by doing stupid things, so predictable! Here we can see Sissy who by an accident was involved in to terrible "run-for-your-life" situation. The Butcher boys was filmed realistic about madness that happens all around us but we can't see it or ignore it. People are going crazy with drugs and by eating some junks, do you remember in movie he said "we are what we eat", that's true, they became monsters and no one really wanted to mess around with them even police. Even high authorities were simply customers for them, it shows how people rot morally. We can rely this movie to our life too.

I WANT to see the second part of Butcher Boys, please DO THE SECOND PART of BUTCHER BOYS!!!! Now in my must watch list LOVE it!!!!!
