Butchers Bluff Plot Synopsis:


Synopsis / Plot Summary: When four college students set out to investigate the legend of the Hogman for their film thesis, they expect to uncover little more than small-town folklore. But as they dig deeper into the dark history of Emerald Falls, they realize the brutal killer may be more than just a myth. Wearing a grotesque hog mask, the Hogman is a relentless force of terror, hunting down anyone who crosses into his domain. As the students" project turns into a desperate fight for survival, they must unravel the truth behind the blood-soaked legend before they become his next victims. Packed with gruesome kills, intense suspense, and a heavy dose of "80s slasher nostalgia, Butcher"s Bluff delivers a wild, gore-filled ride that horror fans won"t want to miss.

Tagline: You Won"t find him, He"ll find you!

Breaking Glass Pictures is excited to announce the release of Butchers Bluff, a blood-soaked homage to 1980s slasher films, on March 11, 2025. Directed by William Instone and Matt Rifley, this bone-chilling horror film pits a group of college film students against the dark and twisted urban legend of the Hogman.

Set in a reclusive Texas town where 28 people have mysteriously vanished over the past two decades, Butchers Bluff follows the students as they seek to uncover the truth behind the Hogman legend for their thesis project. What begins as an ambitious academic endeavor turns into a horrifying fight for survival."

Rich Wolff, CEO of Breaking Glass Pictures, praised the film:

"Director William Instone masterfully sets the tone in Butchers Bluff, a blood-soaked homage to 1980s slasher films. His confident—and unapologetically brutal—direction makes for an unforgettable viewing experience."

William Instone, Writer/Director, on why he chose Breaking Glass Pictures:

"Rich Wolff understood exactly what we were going for with the throwback tribute to 1980s slasher film, Butchers Bluff, and was willing to put some skin in the game to help us finish up the final polish we needed before releasing this passion project to world. The Breaking Glass team has been very supportive and transparent. I"m looking forward to an on going working relationship with the company.
