A butcher named Otto has just been released from the insane asylum after being placed there for attacking a woman with a slab of meat. Yes. He immediately returns to his job as a local butcher. But after a scuffle with his wife, he snaps and ends up killing her. So now he has a meat source to justify his ridiculously low prices. Meanwhile the police are investigating the death of a local house cat?
The Mad Butcher is anything but a horrifying trip inside the mind of a demented butcher. There’s probably only one character in the whole movie aware that any people have disappeared until the last 20 minutes. The rest of the movie is just filled with this asshole butcher and music that could have appropriately been placed in a 3 Stooges episode. At 80 minutes, it has a short run time but it feels longer. Probably because it spends its run time trying to be funny and failing. All the kills are strangulations! You’d think a horror movie about a butcher would have a meat cleaver kill or two. Pass on this one.
