Canada has a proud tradition of slasher movies going back to the boom of
the late '70s and early '80s. A throwback to that golden age, with a nod to
Wrong Turn along the way, is director Adrian Langley's
Butchers, in which a quartet of youths are menaced by a family of sadistic
backwoods butchers. The film stars Simon Phillips, Michael Swatton, Julie Mainville, Anne-Carolyne
Binette
and James Hicks.
To coincide with National Butcher's Week, Butchers will be
released on UK DVD March 8th, following its earlier Digital release on
February 22nd.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
After their car breaks down, four youths find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere. Little do they know they are being watched. They soon fall captive to a family of sadistic butchers who keep their ‘fresh meat’ tied up in a wooden outhouse.
