More of a Grindhouse Movie than Mainstream Horror Despite Cast
You'll note a number of recognizable actors in this low budget flick. Like Vic Tayback and Talia Shire, among others.
It's a very weird film that is now being distributed by Troma under the title "The Butchers" even though the end credits gives the title as "Maxie" complete with a title song called "Maxie!"
Post production facilities used were American Zoetrope, owned by Francis Ford Coppola.
Not a typical Troma film either. It's very slow and strange with no real gore or horror until the last 20 minutes. And even that is pretty tame.
It's really directed like a grindhouse movie through and through. Talia Shire will go on to be in the Rocky franchise three years later and Tayback will be in a sitcom.
There are other you will recognize too.
