1 million BC: Dina (Miranda Robin) tried to run off with Rex (Kato
Kaelin), but her tribe's leader Neandra (Leilani Fedeli), who thinks that
Rex loves only her (even though evidence points in the opposite direction)
catches them and executes Dina, guts her, then has her most loyal subjects
Poppy (Molly Elizabeth Ring), Anaconda (Natasha Halevi) and blind
soothsayer Bamba (Devyn Leah) eat her entrails. They just do it, they're
not even particularly fond of Neandra because she's a bitch, and Poppy has
even got something going on with Rex behind her back. The next day though,
Dina's body is gone, the "Butcher" (Dwayne Johnson), a legendary
monster, has taken her - which Dina denies though despite seeing his trail
loud and clear. Instead she blames it on a sabre tooth tiger she kills and
hopes everything's ok again ... but no, her tribe starts being killed soon
enough, first Poppy and Rex, then Bamba, then even Anaconda ... and
suddenly Neandra knows she's next on the list, but has no idea where the
menace origins from or how he's supposed to be caught ... B.C.
Butcher, shot by a then 17 year old female director, praises itself to
be the first prehistoric slasher movie - and while I can't really confirm
(or deny for that matter) that claim, that's even beside the point, as the
main thing about B.C. Butcher is that it's lots of fun, really.
Sure it's not a milestone in genre cinema, but it does manage to bring
together the campiness of the slasher and the cave(wo)man genre, is
directed in a fittingly light-footed way, is loads of fun without being
moronic, and has a wonderful B-movie aura to it that will make it
instantly likeable to a genre audience. Great fun, really!
