    The premise and the movie poster look great. It really isn't very exciting and drags on far too long. The only gore we get to see is Victor Buono himself. It's a bad movie.

    It's a curio for sure.
    If you're the kind of person who likes this stuff, you'll be happy you watched it. I was.
    It's nothing amazing, but it is unique.

    Quite slow moving, but fun to watch for those who can appreciate the sleazy and cleverly dark humor. Similar in some ways to 'The Green Butchers'.

    After being released from a mental hospital, Otto returns to his old job as a butcher.

    Waste of TIME!! Very Weak movie, DO NOT WATCH, if you do end up watching it, side effects may include: Suicide, murder ramapages, road ramapage, any kinds of ways of harming yourself, and many others...
