Butcher Boys is a 2012 American horror cannibal film written and produced by Kim Henkel, who co-created 1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre with Tobe Hooper.
"[7] A group of Texas youths are celebrating a birthday at a posh San Antonio restaurant when they cross paths with a ravenous clan of cannibals called the Boneboys.
Mercilessly stalked through the darkened streets of the city, the young revelers must fight back against their attackers with sheer ferocity in order to avoid having their bodies defiled, and their flesh devoured.
[8] Butcher Boys is described as an updating of Jonathan Swift’s 1729 satirical essay A Modest Proposal, which suggested poor people sell their children to the rich as food.
It was directed and edited by two of Henkel's previous film students, Duane Graves and Justin Meeks, with whom he had collaborated in 2009 on the Bigfoot horror feature The Wild Man of the Navidad.
"[18] Joel Harley of Horror DNA wrote "it's brutal, gory and disarmingly amusing, Butcher Boys is a fun film by The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’s less remembered co-creator and two exciting new directors.
