Ten years later, a group of fresh-faced teens find themselves targeted by a masked man in a hooded cloak. It's up to Detective Ryan Fenton and his fish-out-of-water partner to protect the town from Miller's clutches; there's just one issue - Ryan himself is a survivor of the original massacre. Is Miller opening up a new chapter, or has he returned to attend to some unfinished business?

Braxton (2015) Reviews

  • Properly Awful

    terrancegore2018-02-23

    I've watched a lot of slasher movies over the years and this ranks as one of the worst. Terrible acting, plot holes you could drive lorry through, and writing that is trite and formulaic beyond belief. Now, some terrible films transcend how awful they are and can be unintentionally very funny. This isn't one of them.

  • Unfinished butchering

    There was quite a lot that made me want to watch 'Braxton'. It had a cool poster/cover, a somewhat intriguing if very derivative premise and as someone with a general appreciation for the genre it fits under. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there (though there are decent to good ones as well), made me though apprehensive. 'Braxton' is unfortunately on the other hand yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws present in those films are here, that did absolutely nothing for me. 'Braxton' is really terrible, with so many huge flaws, any potential that it had completely disappears in translation. There is nothing good here in 'Braxton' apart from the eerie-looking setting that is wasted by the rest of the production values, just amateurish in all aspects. Going further on to the negatives, the story does feel over-stretched and some of it comes over as vague and under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less unsettled and never gaining momentum. All the characters are too sketchy and with cardboard thin and colourless personalities and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them, all of them coming over as incredibly irritating to the extent you don't want them alive. Their annoying and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates. The chemistry is bland and unfocused. The sound quality is obvious and utilised cheaply (being too loud in the build ups and people's reactions), the effects are laughable and all of the acting is lacking severely on the whole, that's actually an understatement as the worst of it is horrendous. There is no sense of horror or engagement with the awful predicament they're in, and no connecting with the character, it just reeks of indifference which makes the viewer not care less too. Dialogue can be stilted and rambling while the pace and film drags on forever, apparent from the very start, never recovering that interest is lost fast. The ending has no build-up and just ends ridiculously. Found too many of the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness, a lot of dumb and vague moments and explanations and the lack of tension and suspense. Thrills are none, thanks to stodginess and excessive over-familiarity, and found myself never invested in the drama, which tended to be indifferently acted, interminably paced and statically directed. A lot of 'Braxton' has really dull and going nowhere plot elements and often nonsensical and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you shocked are far from creative or unsettling. It all feels rather tame while the identity of the killer is not surprising or memorable, but at that point one doesn't really care. Nothing freaky or interesting with some shoddy effects, no development and too derivative, while everything is unimaginative and are more odd than scary, completely failing to show any sense of dread. There is nothing interesting or illuminating with what the film was trying to do and the drama is overwrought with no momentum and a lot of weirdness. Nothing bold, nothing creative, it's all dull, tame and with some gratuity. The direction is leaden, got the sense their heart was not in it, and the music is ill-fitting. 'Braxton' is very amateurish visually, too drearily lit and shows no care in the way it's shot, severely compromising any coherence. The editing is all over the place. Altogether, irredeemably (apart from the setting, which was wasted so is not really a merit) terrible. 1/10 Bethany Cox

  • I had fun watching it

    nicki-h-harris2018-12-15

    The cast looks as real as you can get and not like actors, and honestly they did a fine job. I wasn't bored watching and I liked this low budget horror. I watch ALL low budget horror and have a lot to compare it to. This had a good guessing game to it.

    This is an Irish slasher film with the accent on the Irish. The film opens with Tommy Miller going on a rampage. Two teens managed to elude him. We then go to 10 years later. Ryan Fenton (Shaun Blaney) one of the teens is now a detective. Cora (Stephanie Donaghue), the other teen that survived, is a radio call-in host. The killer appears to want Ryan as the Baxton High School students, with all their Irish teen angst are all being killed. The film was uneven with characters I liked (Jenna Byrne), grew to like (Vicky Allen) and others such as Alicia (Natalie Curran) and Fred we could have done without. The high school reporter geek squad could have been better developed and utilized. The film had drama and light comedy with their horror. They had all the pieces but it was missing the glue. I did laugh at the last killing. The person initially thought would be the final girl, wasn't. Then they introduced a new "final girl" which she was actually called by the killer. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity

  • Have you heard the (Urban) Legend of Tommy Miller?

    misbegotten2019-02-13

    Whereas the various entries in the post-SCREAM slasher revival were made by filmmakers who spent their formative years enjoying the slasher boom that followed in the wake of the original HALLOWEEN, time marches on, and we're now seeing slasher movies made by people who grew up watching those post-SCREAM movies. Case in point: low budget effort BRAXTON (2015), which was re-titled THE BUTCHERING in the US, initially released straight to DVD in the UK as BRAXTON BUTCHER, and was re-released there under it's original title at the beginning of 2019. Shot in Northern Ireland with a local cast, when it's writer/editor/producer/director Leo McGuigan was only nineteen years old, BRAXTON cheerfully references NATURAL BORN KILLERS (1994) and the SCREAM franchise in it's dialogue, while the storyline borrows heavily from the MY BLOODY VALENTINE remake (2009), and visually it pays homage to URBAN LEGEND (1998) with a fur-lined hooded parka-clad killer and the faithful recreation of a key moment. It's not perfect - at an hour & fifty minutes in length, it's too long, and accordingly the narrative drags in places. Some occasional lines of dialogue also feel out-of-place, too clearly the product of a screenwriter sitting at this desk instead of something a real person would actually say. And the final revelational scene when the killer reveals all, contains one unnecessary twist too many. But BRAXTON had more pluses than minuses: the young cast look like ordinary, ache-ridden teenagers instead of the impossibly good-looking hunks and Victoria's Secret models that populate American slashers . And it's genuinely difficult to predict who's going to survive - the character who I initially thought was the Final Girl wasn't, and an individual who clearly had 'Victim' written all over her proved otherwise. Special mention to Laura Pyper lookalike Vicky Allen, who steals every scene she's in as the school's resident self-obsessed, two-timing Queen Bee. Remarkably, according to the IMDB it's her only on-screen role so far.
