While the film presents itself as a gritty Horror film with its alluring mystery of what’s in the door labeled OUT OF BOUNDS, the soundtrack echoing the very question at every turn of the film’s narrative, in reality, the absurdity of its premise spits in the face of sincerity. With Butcher cults, talking meat hallucinations, and the center of it all a Butchers apprentice who treats the job like being a rockstar, this is a horror film only in the visual sense capturing the style and aroma of a giallo film with its use of zoom, dutch angles, and heavy reliance on ADR. When the film screened at Monsterfest in 2023 with the infamous Friday the 13th: THE FINAL FRIDAY Jason goes to hell It proved to be a perfect pairing. Both films have a love for over-the-top gore and revel in the spectacle of special effects.
