Kim Henkel, writer of the classic horror The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and writer/director of its third sequel, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (although the less said about that the better), returns to the horror genre with Butcher Boys, his first feature in almost twenty years.
In 1729 Jonathan Swift published A Modest Proposal, a satirical tome in which he suggested Ireland offer up their children as food, using cannibalism as a metaphor for the exploitation of the poor by the rich.

Review written by Kevin Scott, MoreHorror.com
Butcher Boys escaped me early on, and I for sure did not know that it was from the mind of Kim Henkel, the writer of the original “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. I cannot begin to explain what high regard I have for that movie. Gritty 1970’s exploitation is my bag anyway, and that movie was a master stroke in the genre. It has only happened to a similar, but far lesser degree with “The Blair Witch Project” over twenty years later. Is it real? Did it actually happen? Am I going to be able to sit through this, or it is just going to be too much to take? TCM was like finding a filet mignon in a Spam can. I thought the meat metaphor would be appropriate. Brilliantly written, directed, and expertly shot by Daniel Pearl, with actors and locations whose deficiencies somehow became advantages.

"Butcher Boys" has a tough road ahead of it. Thanks to its writer and producer, the movie will inevitably be compared to "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" as soon as the opening credits start to roll. It's unfair and a shame, because the movie once entitled "Boneboys" actually isn't a bad little independent horror piece.
Four friends are out on the town for a birthday celebration. After provoking a couple troublemakers, the group get into a high-speed chase through a bad part of the city. They drive up on a gang hanging out in the street, causing a wreck that kills the dog of one of the thugs. Little do they know that their actions have brought them into the world of a cannibalistic band of psychopaths bent on making them their next meal.
Kim Henkel is probably best known as the producer and writer of the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Directors Duane Graves and Justin Meeks are the subject of our latest Q&A feature, telling us about their experience with the recently released cannibal film, Butcher Boys:
Can you tell me how you got involved with Kim Henkel on this project? Was this something you came to him with or the other way around?
Duane Graves: We’ve had a long 16 year relationship with Kim Henkel. He was our college film professor back in the late 90′s. We took a year of screenwriting courses under him, and after graduating we kept in touch. Justin and I produced a trio of short horror films that Kim produced, and eventually we decided to do a feature film back in 2006 called “The Wild Man of the Navidad.” That film premiered at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival in NYC and was picked up by IFC Films for release internationally.

Butcher Boys is the new film written and produced by Kim Henkel, best known as the scribe behind the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It revolves around a group known as the Bone Boys, a vicious gang that runs the streets and deals in human flesh as if it were drugs. A young woman and her friends are selected at random to be on the menu, and insanity ensues.
We spoke with Henkel about how Butcher Boys is an evolution of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the taboo of cannibalism, and his upcoming documentary.
Where did the idea for Butcher Boys come from?
Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” was a major inspiration. [“A Modest Proposal” was a satirical essay written in 1729 which suggested that poor parents sell their babies as food for the wealthy.] What I posited was that, some time after writing “A Modest Proposal,” a group of individuals decided to put it into effect for whatever reason, and the Bone Boys are an extension of those individuals.
The movie is bonkers. It...

Oh boy, a movie from the creator of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre himself, Tobe Hooper! Wait, it’s not Tobe Hooper? It’s Kim Henkel?
Butcher Boys was adapted by the guy who collaborated with Tobe Hooper on the story for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (and also produced), and you’re going to market this as “From The Creator Of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”? Well, if that isn’t some deceptive tomfoolery…
Butcher Boys is one of those cannibalistic-type cult movies much like Delicatessen or Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street, where the psychopaths view people as a source of income and food, except the work by Duane Graves and Justin Meeks is nowhere as entraining as the movies mentioned above, or most of the genre, for that matter.

Whenever I want to talk about Fight Club, I always get the same response. “Remember the first two rules, man. You don’t talk about Fight Club.” I get it: breaking the rules is the same as ruining the movie. But with people starting their own fight clubs and urban terrorist groups, audiences need to be reminded that Fight Club is a satire. We’re not supposed to desire the life of a self-destructive, nomadic cultist; we’re not supposed to deny the ambition and desperation that makes us human. That being said, Fight Club is arguably my favorite movie of all time, for better or for worse. Those of you that know me personally are probably groaning, since I talk about this film far too often. Film scholars are probably rolling their eyes, since this film is usually the subject of macho eroticism. But hear me out, because this...

The Wild Man of the Navidad co-director Duane Graves dropped me a line with word of his latest production written and produced by original Texas Chain Saw Massacre writer/producer Kim Henkel, Boneboys, which unleashes predatory cannibals in a cityscape.
Boneboys was originally conceived back in 2008 as a potential urban Texas Chain Saw Massacre sequel before getting reworked into its own potential franchise. Leatherface fans should be thrilled to know Boneboys boasts cameos by several TCM series alumni: Marilyn Burns, Bill Johnson, Ed Neal, Ed Guinn, Bill Wise, Perry Lorenz and John Dugan.

Don't look for Menippean satire in this kid-friendly version of the great classic of 1735, the kind of biting wit that Jonathan Swift used to attack mental attitudes rather than specific individuals. Swift, whose "A Modest Proposal" suggested (ironically, of course), that the impoverished Irish could alleviate their condition by selling their children for food to the rich, took aim against the corruption of European governments, examined whether humankind is by nature corrupt or is made corrupt by institutions, and peered into the pettiness of religious institutions. All this is shaved away by director Robert Letterman in a brief, 85-minute classic-comic version depending on the slapstick abilities of Jack Black in the title role of Lemuel Gulliver.

Mele Kalikimaka Zoners! I apologize for the delay, but some things are worth waiting for, and this week’s Apopcolypse is no exception. The memories the shows generated this past week were enough to warm the cockles of my heart with visions of Christmas past, when all I wanted was a 3600 baud modem and a Bbs account. It also left me singing everything from the amended version of “Send in the Clowns” to pretty much every song from Sweeney Todd and selected hits of Paul Simon, so indeed, it *was* the greatest gift! What were some of the gifts you received from the past week’s shows?

They probably have a pretty good idea what they’d be in for if they did appear. But I have to think that Buckley T. Ratchford is taking a fair amount of ribbing from friends and colleagues today after Stephen tried to blackmail him into coming on the show by threatening to reveal his credit card number. It’s going to be hard to live that one down. We’ll have to see how effective this “threat” is,...

Who doesn't love a good Soylent Green kind of story? Boneboys, which is currently in production in Texas, is based on Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" where people are food. Apparently this story points out that "eating human flesh is addictive.. and turns you into a monster". When's it coming? Sometime in 2011. Let's hope the film as is good as the little info we have on it.

The co-directing team of The Wild Man of the Navidad, Duane Graves and Justin Meeks, are back once again for a new flick, this time with writer Kim Henkel of the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre fame, to deliver another tale of Texas-sized terror, Boneboys.
According to the Dallas News Boneboys is now filming in Dallas, Texas. Inspired by Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal, in which the author suggested, tongue firmly in cheek, that cannibalism might be a good notion. Henkel's script looks at the descendants of a culture that adopted just that philosophy. "They discovered that eating human flesh is highly addictive," Henkel tells the news outlet. "Eat too much and it turns you into a monster."
Chain Saw fans will enjoy a few cameos by Ed Neal, who played the infamous hitchhiker in the original film, and John Dugan, who was the grandfather. Bill Johnson, Leatherface...

The writer of one of the all-time classic American horror films using one of the all time greatest pieces of satire ever written as the basis of his new work? That's exactly what's happening with Boneboys.
The co-writer of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Kim Henkel has written and is producing Boneboys, a new film now in production with Duane Graves and Justin Meeks directing. Graves and Meeks are former students of Henkel's, the three collaborating a few years back on ultra low budget creature film The Wild Man Of The Navidad.
But this one? Boneboys takes Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal as its starting point, the film being set in a world where people have taken Swift's suggestion that babies from poor families be used as a food supply seriously.

[Certainly one of the most talked about films of the year amongst programmers other folks of extreme cinema, and very likely the reason that the Serbian Sidebar exists at Fantasia this year. Here is Todd's breathless account of the film from our archives.]
There is a part of me that feels sorry for Srdjan Spasojevic. He has, you see, just created a debut film that will linger in infamy. No matter what lies in the future for Spasojevic he will always be the director of A Serbian Film and that may prove a difficult mantle to bear. A Serbian Film is one of the most incredibly raw and transgressive films I have ever seen. This is a film that left me feeling dirty and assaulted, a film that will surely spark protest and deservedly so. A film that contains a flurry of genuinely shocking imagery sure to spark genuine horror and revulsion from its audience. Spasojevic is always going to be the man responsible for that film.
There is, however, another part of my that feels an overwhelming admiration for Spasojevic and what he has done here. A Serbian Film is one of...

Sacha Baron Cohen's new baby, Bruno, is a shrieking faggot who embodies every prejudice ever thrown at gay people -- that we are shallow, callow, and perverted. He buys a black baby from Africa -- the price? an i-Pod -- to mimic Madonna. He preys on straight men by charging into their tents naked. He penetrates his pygmy boyfriend with massive dildos powered by exercise bikes. Oh, and the staggering success of the film is a stride forward for gay people. The Bruno-bashing backlash -- swelling yet further this week -- has profoundly missed the point. Baron Cohen -- one of the great satirists of our time -- is taking a prejudiced position to its logical conclusion, in order to expose its absurdity. It's how satire works. When Jonathan Swift wrote the greatest satire in history -- A Modest Proposal,...
