The Butcher documents the creation of a snuff film from two vantage points: the perspective of the victims and the perspective of the creators. The protagonists include someone identified as “the director,” his assistant, and the film’s titular lunatic. The film’s first act begins with four victims. Two of the victims are quickly dragged off-screen to the set where the snuff film is created. As the distant sounds of screams and blurring chainsaws filters into waiting room, one of the victim’s unsuccessfully tries to escape. Eventually, he and his wife are dragged off to meet the Butcher face-to-face. A small group of people lie battered and bound on the floor of a dirty slaughterhouse covered in blood. Scared and confused, they soon learn their captors are snuff film producers and plan to torture them as creatively and heinously as possible before brutally killing them off one-by-one. Each scene is shot from either the killer or victim’s point of view in order to fully capture the emotional torment of the prey and the unspeakable acts that will be perpetrated on their captive bodies.
