I started watching the movie without any expectations and when I realized the plot had me hooked. Good acting too, specially Craig Ingham. Very interesting low-budget film.

Attempting to get by in life, a worker at a local slaughterhouse is tasked with bringing a new recruit fresh off parole up to speed at the facility, but when they eventually start to get into trouble with others they resort to murder and other forms of retribution leading to a shocking series of crimes. Overall, this was a pretty underwhelming genre effort. Among its good qualities is the storyline work where, as a build-up of the relationship between the two that eventually leads into far darker and crueler actions the more time they spend together, this has a lot to like. Seeing their lives in the slaughterhouse and how they are treated there with the other workers bullying them and treating the two like outcasts based on the belief of how weird they come off to the others is done at such a point that there's an easy throughline to their later work as serial killers taking them out in quite cruel manners. Giving this one quite a lot to enjoy when it shows them killing and carving up victims with their skillset as a butcher, there are some pretty graphic and brutal murders that are carried out which gives this a couple of positive aspects. That said, there are some problems with this one. The main problem is that the film seems to jump the gun with the serial killer aspect since it's an immediate jump to that solution to their problems rather than doing a gradual build-up to these antics. Since we get so little info on the guy before the incident that starts them on their killing spree, everything stands out even further in regards to the absolute over-the-top nature of the two immediately landing on killing to get through those who they distrust. As well, with a real lack of interest in who they are since neither men are that interesting or charismatic before they start killing the film is a slough even at this length which is a bit of a problem that this kind of film. Combined with some unneeded and obvious padding to get this stretched out to the paltry running time it has to begin with, there's not much with this one. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.
