A busload of strangers find themselves fighting for their lives when one of them reads from a gothic book and brings to life six dead serial killers who proceed to hunt them down one by one.

Distractions
I would have rated this higher if there were not so many ugly people kissing in the movie. Completely took away from the storyline. The characters fit every cliche that matched their race. If the director had a bigger budget and the ability to make smoother scene transitions while not wanting to jerk off every other scene with girls kissing, it might have been a 4 or 5 star movie. Lastly, the part of Jack The Ripper was completely trash... he turned into a freak lesbian girl??? That was NOT anything like The Ripper. Good storyline; terrible follow through, riding every single modern shock value wave and racist idealism until the very last scene.

Another good, bad movie
The reason I watch bad movies is for ones like this which had those moments. When there is nothing that sounds interesting a bad movie can be the answer. Sometimes it takes a lot of previews and 5 minutes of this or that but occasionally you find one that has just odd enough story, passable acting and those B.S. moments that make you roll out of your chair. To me this was one of those and if you don't have fun with it oh well.

Fun to watch once
Very fun concept. Real life serial killers brought back to reap havoc on hapless victims of a bus breakdown. Really needed more gore. Fun watch, though. Ending was abrupt. Very popcorn, watch once, throw away after. Get it cheap, you'll have fun.

The Bummers Again.
Another loser in the Halloween/Friday the 13th clones. Don't waste time watching this. No scares, no anticipation. Just let down after let down. I had a knife up to my throat because my batteries went out on my remote but my wife, bless her, saved my by bringing me new batteries.

The Butchers works for me.
This is one of those low budget jobs that actually works. Its quirky in some places, humorous, and violent. You don't take it seriously because of the humor, but it is still a horror movie and people do get killed, gruesomely. I like the concept. Various serial killers are brought back from the dead. There is one man who enters the town that is basically a tourist attraction with various shops set up for each of the serial killers. He was going to use the Book of the Dead to bring them to life. Instead some punk dude uses the book sarcastically to the amusement of his punk girlfriend. Then they have sex. While they are going at it the ritual takes hold and each unit that was set up for the serial killers comes to life with that serial killer. Nice twist on Jack the Ripper. You'll see. Funny. The killer from The Town That Dreaded Sundown was there as well. There is a heavy set black woman who steals the comedy portion of the movie with her tough as nails attitude and take no crap philosophy. She refers to that killer from Sundown as a KKK member. Whitey! Overall I really enjoyed this movie. No thinking required. No character development or worrying about the storyline or anything like that. Its just good old fashioned entertainment without the muss and fuss of a thinking persons movie. Just enjoy it for what it is, fun and funny.

needed to work on character and story development the Ed ...
needed to work on character and story development the Ed Gein character was particularly ludicrous. the cast and crew need to keep in mind" willingness to suspend disbelief " the single most important factor in a successful genre movie .

Flawed but fun
Flawed but fun. If you just sort of go with it it is fairly enjoyable in spite of the plot holes, stilted acting and the myriad other issues. In spite of all that it manages to be a cut above (heh heh) of the typical grade B film.
