Viewing Notes
Via Instant Watch I fired up Jin Won Kim’s The Butcher (2007). Nothing more than a different spin on the torture porn genre but interesting enough to make it worthwhile if you like your horror bloody and low budget. I read an article in Giant Robot about this flick and the director that ultimately didn’t allow me to fully buy into the real feel depiction of a snuff film going down. But not terrible.
