Story of a group of teens who get lost in the bad part of town and end up being chased by a bunch of somethings.
Frustrating at times due to chases that seem to go on forever, but fun as hell when shit starts to go down, Butcher Boys is a pleasant surprise that piles on the weirdness the deeper it gets.
Ali Faulkner holds her own as the damsel in distress, giving off a real Heather Graham vibe. It's funny, she was also in Bad Kids Go To Hell, which I just watched, and had no idea it was the same girl, she has much more presence here.
A fun, if redundant chase movie for the first half, the second half of the movie morphs into a modern day, urban, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I can't be positive I understood what the hell the story was about, but at some point I stopped caring and just went along with the ride.
Butcher Boys isn't great, but it tries real effing hard to be fresh, while still paying homage. In that regard, it's a slice above.
