Butchers Book Three: Bonesaw ★½

A LOW-budget horror film called Butchers, released in 2020, was successful enough to spawn two sequels.

Rather than just call the 2024 sequel Butchers 2, or something basic like that, writer/director Adrian Langley settled on the self-important title of Butchers Book Two: Raghorn.

Now in 2025 we have Butchers Book Three: Bonesaw and it’s still hard to understand the connections in the stories and how the overall narrative has progressed.

The main reason for these films, like most slashers, is entertaining/shocking (depending on your appetite for horror) and, despite its pretences, I think this series is no different.

The first film featured a pair of cannibal brothers kidnapping and chopping up people to sell the resulting meat and flesh to unsuspecting customers.

The second film didn’t seem to offer anything different and was outright confusing in parts.

In the third film there is a lunatic running driving around in a van kidnapping women and doing the same thing but this time one woman keeps inexplicably getting away from him and inept police are on his trail.

Speaking of inept police, the woman who plays the main one gives a performance that is terrible even for this type of budget genre fare.
