ladymara9 I saw this little bit of horror with its cast of virtually unknowns (although, one of them looked like a guy I see on a soap opera...but then again, I could be wrong)with the exception for Ron Jeremy. You know what I saw...A horror movie that definitely didn't take itself too seriously....and let you know it from the start (yeah, I loved the Uncle Jesse-type character "tellin' a story"). Good gore effects and it really didn't matter if you rooted for the character or not they were good. In my opinion, if you want to waste an hour and a half and don't mind laughing your a** off, rent it and, oh yeah, break out that popcorn.

gavin6942 So, the guys at KillerReviews.com are all over this film, praising it and kissing the director's buttocks in an interview. The review says you have to have a sense of humor to appreciate it. Well, let me say I saw the humor but was still let down unparalleled.This review is a companion to my review for "The Janitor" because there is a difference between good bad horror and bad bad horror. This is simply bad (unlike "The Janitor").The writing I think is decent, because the idea is classic horror: cheerleaders, slasher, cops, etc. But the execution was awful. The acting was very weak and the characters took themselves very seriously even though they have no skills. The music made no sense and was more of a nuisance than anything half the time (especially because it was much louder than the vocal track of the film).Some scenes made no sense. Particularly, the television scene. I guess since the film has a supernatural element to it that we can invent ways this makes sense, but I really don't want to work that hard on thinking about this. Also, the scene where the main character finds out how to stop the monster... I do not understand.The things the Killer Review guy liked: the eyeballs and the scabs... very disappointing and completely unscary and unrealistic.Even the nudity was a sham. Whiel there does exist one scene that is quite sexy, overall the women in this film are played up to be a lot more attractive than they actually are. In another review I read the girls were "homely" and this is a fair assessment. (I normally do not judge actresses on their bodies, but when you are cast as a stereotypical sexpot cheerleader and you are only average looking, the casting director really dropped the ball.) I enjoyed Ron Jeremy reattaching his arms. I enjoyed him giving the "field goal" sign when hitting people. I enjoyed the chili scene. I absolutely loved April Billingsley, who was by far the only really decent actress or actor in the movie. And I liked how the monster was defeated (don't worry, no spoilers). But these things simply were not good enough to overcome all the shortcomings. Sorry.Watch this film at your own peril. Rent or buy "The Janitor" instead.

Shanti Salazar I waited over 2 weeks for Andre to arrive thru Netflix and it was definitely worth the wait. There's not much to do in my town so I watch A LOT of movies, and all kinds. Andre The Butcher really didn't meet my expectations, which was a good thing. Andre is probably the best low-budget indie I've seen in the last 3 years. I call it an indie and not a horror film because there is a lot more going on in this film than just pretty faces and slasher gore. Unlike most shoestring digital movies out there, Andre actually has good actors, sharp dialog, good camera work and its just a damn funny movie. Yeah, its obvious this wasn't made with the budget of Titanic folks. But the filmmakers really got a lot of bang out of their buck.The only negative thing I would mention is the boxart. The front of the DVD box makes it look like a straightforward gorefest, which is definitely not the case. I can see a lot of disappointed horror fans out there in this regard. I would recommend that horror fans and audience in general not get fooled by the sinister boxart. This is best described as a comedy with horror elements- the kinda flick to watch with the gang and a kegger. Once you understand the true nature of this film, it is a blast! I hope these guys make more movies, and more with that delicious hottie April Billingsley. She can lick chilli off my toes anytime! ;)

Brandon Windish I like "Andre the Butcher". I really do.And I'm not a plant, or a crew member, or one of the actors, or a sniveling jerk who enjoys the anonymous superiority of mean-spirited bad-mouthing on a flick's message board...but I'll tell you what I am: A life-long fan of horror films.I am. So much so, that I'd even ask Clive Turner to sign my Fango #134. Seriously. Which can only mean that I am not only extremely forgiving, but also ridiculously undemanding. Of my enjoyment of horror films, that is. I'm not even gonna compare "Andre..." to other direct to video fare. Since when has a horror movie deserved that? Excuse me for invoking a cliché; but do any of us really put "The Exorcist" and "Slumber Party Massacre 2" back to back and discuss the parallels of their merits and letdowns? Theoretically, of course; we all know "Slumber Party Massacre 2" has no faults. Gosh, look me, going on and on. Okay, here we go: 10 THINGS I LIKE ABOUT "ANDRE THE BUTCHER" (...in no particular order. Bear with me if you can...) 1) The lack of pretension. Thank God, Phil Cruz isn't a moralist, that's all I'll say.2) The fake-ass spider.3) Justin Capaz as Jimbo...allow me to direct your attention to this character. And allow me to remind you of two other characters from two other horror films: Grady in "Freddy's Revenge" and the @$$hole Boyfriend in "Slumber Party Massacre 2". Three brilliant actors? Quite possibly.4) Fast pace. You think it moves to slow? It's because you just looove the indie cred of digging newer Troma movies.5) Fat people dying because they love to eat.6) Jumping from behind a tree into karate stance with a boner.7) Body double.8) I happen to think the "It's Good!" joke is very funny.9) "No nudity clause" 10) Holy urine.Like I said, I'm not too demanding. And maybe it has to do with the fact that I wasn't sitting by myself after renting this thing. I didn't pop it into my DVD player and fast-forward after two seconds, and I didn't drool over my remote at "half-mast" waiting for the sex scenes only to be disappointed at their lack of any real sexuality, thus holding a grudge over a flick for it not allowing me to get off. In fact, if I had any advice to give some particularly vitriolic reviewers of this movie, or lonely people the world over--rent "Teenage Cavegirl". Seriously. That'll do it for you.Look, obviously I don't need much to enjoy myself. A little blood, a little boobs, an explosion and a fake-ass spider. And if that's what you want, you'll probably dig "Andre the Butcher". You certainly won't get it in "Pledge Night". Sorry, I'm starting to sound like Subovon from Houston.Guys, check this movie out. Support independent film, and if you can make a better movie, please do! We'd all love to see it. And I mean that in the most heartfelt, honest way. In fact, most of us will probably even help you make it. Because if there's anything we life-long horror fans of horror love, it's more horror movies to be life-long fans of.And that rhymes.
