Watch The Mad Butcher For Free

Powerful

best movie i've ever seen.

As Good As It Gets

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

A variation on the oft-told Sweeney Todd story, The Mad Butcher stars Victor Buono as Viennese butcher Otto Lehman, who, after spending three years in a madhouse for slapping a customer with two pounds of liver, is finally declared sane. Of course, this being a horror movie (of sorts), Otto is still far from mentally stable, his mind eventually snapping while being nagged by his shrewish wife Hanna (Karin Field). After throttling her, and breaking her neck, he decides that the best way to dispose of his wife is to turn her into sausages, which he sells to the public. Other victims follow, with the sausages a huge success with Otto's customers. Meanwhile, intrepid reporter Mike Lawrence (Brad Harris) has his suspicions about the butcher but struggles to convince the police that he is up to no good.Black comedy is the order of the day here, with the horrific notion of grinding up people for sausages played for fun rather than frights, sweaty lard-bucket Buono's performance almost as camp as his King Tut in TV's Batman. Director Guido Zurli gives his picture a ghoulish, garish look through strong use of primary colours, which adds to the comical tone, and employs a jaunty soundtrack throughout. Since there is very little blood on show, Zurli compensates with a reasonable amount of gratuitous female nudity, Otto ogling his shapely neighbour Berta (Franca Polesello) as she undresses each night at her window, while his brother-in-law Karl (Luca Sportelli) brings home prostitute Frieda (Hansi Linder) who happily displays her wares.Very cheesy, a little bit sleazy, and surprisingly breezy, The Mad Butcher is by no means a great film, the story-line rather predictable and repetitive, but it passes the time easily enough. 5/10.

After being released from a mental hospital Otto returns to his old job as a butcher.He tries to adjust to his new life,but after a bitter argument with his wife he accidentally kills her.Fearing he will be sent back to the hospital he grinds up her body and sells it as sausages.As friends and relatives start asking questions about her disappearance they too start ending up in the butcher's display case."The Mad Butcher" is an enjoyable black comedy with tasty main performance of Victor Buono.It's loosely based on two criminal cases of German serial killers/butchers Georg Grossman and Fritz Haarman.8 out of 10.Meat is meat and human sausages are human sausages.

This isn't the type of movie I'd usually watch, but a friend who's obsessed with obscure films brought it over. I found that I was thoroughly entertained by the movie. It has a quirky comedic feel, although it has a horror/slasher theme to it. There definitely isn't anything in it that shouts special effects and some of the editing is a little amateur, but it works. Buono's facial expressions really make up the bulk of the entertainment.. the cop/reporter guys are way too fake but the women are hot.. not to mention partially nude in many scenes. By the time they catch up with the bad guy, you really feel satisfied that his activities are being exposed. I wouldn't recommend it as a 'great' movie to watch, but definitely worth checking out if you are in the mood for something a little different.

Ha, Ha, Ha, ha what a laugh. Just seeing the front cover I knew this movie wouldn't be a great movie but a very, very cheesy movie. Just the thought of a butcher using bodies to make sausages and then seeing the people eat and comment on how magnificent it tasted was funny. This movie was hilarious, and took an approach of less gore and blood then most of the horror movies of it's time. I would recommend you watch it if you want to sit back, relax and laugh your heads off.
