B.C. Butcher is a slasher film released in 2016, directed, co-written and produced by the Troma veteran Kansas Bowling on an incredibly low budget of $5,000. The 51-minute-long film takes place in the prehistoric past around 20,000 BC and follows a group of cavewomen that seek revenge on a rock and roll-abusing caveman who has terrorized their village. While it may seem like a B-grade exploitation movie, there is much more to this quirky little film that makes it worth watching.

The film opens with a catchy 1960s-style rock and roll tune, which sets the tone for the entire movie. The music is one of the standout elements of the film, with the original songs being created by Bowling and her brother Parker Love Bowling, and performed by The Ugly Kids. The lyrics of the songs are fun and even carry on the story of the movie, which adds an extra layer of creativity to the film.

The caveman, credited as being played by “Kato Kaelin,” is incredibly obnoxious, and viewers will find themselves rooting for the cavewomen from the early moments of the movie. The cavewomen are equally as ridiculous, with their over-the-top makeup and costumes. The entire premise of the movie is absurd, but this is what makes it so enjoyable. The film does not take itself too seriously and doesn’t try to be anything more than what it is.

Kadeem Hardison, best known for his role in “A Different World,” appears in the movie but in a much smaller capacity than one would expect. His role, however, is memorable and provides some of the funnier moments in the film. While Hardison’s screen time is limited, his character is incredibly important to the overall story.

The cavewomen, played by a cast of unknown actors, are surprisingly entertaining to watch. Despite not having much acting experience and the movie’s low budget, they manage to pull off their roles convincingly. The character of B.C. Butcher is played by Leilani Fideler, who does an excellent job at portraying a savage but ultimately likable protagonist. Her character’s development is subtle but effective, and viewers will find themselves rooting for her during the film’s climax.

B.C. Butcher is not a horror movie in the traditional sense, but rather a parody of the genre. The violence is over-the-top, and the gore is intentionally comical. The special effects are intentionally cheap and add to the films’ overall charm. Despite the movie’s low budget, the creators managed to make the most of what they had, and the end result is surprisingly polished.

The cinematography is one of the most impressive aspects of the film. The use of natural lighting and outdoor locations gives the movie a unique look and feel. The camera work is often inventive, with shots from unusual angles and long takes. The limited use of color correction also gives the film a distinctive aesthetic.

Despite its comedic elements and low budget, BC Butcher also has some underlying messages about female empowerment and overcoming male oppression. The film’s ending is satisfying, with the cavewomen taking their well-deserved revenge on the abusive caveman. While there is certainly no denying that the movie has its share of gratuitous silliness, it’s refreshing to see a movie that can balance humor with a genuine message.

In conclusion, BC Butcher is an entertaining, funny, and surprisingly well-made movie. The movie’s absurd premise and low budget only add to its charm. While it may not be for everyone, those who appreciate off-the-wall indie movies will certainly find something to enjoy here. The excellent soundtrack, creative cinematography, and talented performances from the cast make BC Butcher much more than just a simple parody movie.

B.C. Butcher is a 2016 comedy with a runtime of 52 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.6.
