Director: Adrian Langley
Canadian backwoods horror gets meaner in the sequel Butchers Book Two: Raghorn, a 2024 continuation of the family-of-killers saga that swaps hunters for hunted.
What is Butchers Book Two Raghorn about?
The first chapter established a rural clan of butchers who treat any traveler crossing their land as fresh stock, and Raghorn keeps that grim engine running with a nastier twist: the captors from the earlier film end up captured themselves. A group of cannibals, more organized and more brutal than the original family, takes over and starts preparing the former predators for the same fate they once dealt out to others. The film leans into that role reversal for its shocks, tracking the survivors as they scramble through the same backcountry that once belonged entirely to them, now stripped of any advantage and forced to improvise their way out.
Cast & crew
Nick Biskupek and Michael Swatton return from the earlier installment, carrying over the family dynamic that made the first film's antagonists memorable, while Sam Huntsman and Hollie Kennedy join as part of the new cannibal faction pushing the story in a rougher direction. Corgand Janeway-Svendsen, Miguel Cortez, and Mark Templin round out an ensemble built for practical-effects horror rather than dialogue-heavy drama. Director Adrian Langley keeps the cast lean, favoring pacing and gore over a sprawling character roster.
Context & significance
Raghorn is a direct sequel, so it assumes some familiarity with the first Butchers film's setup even as it flips the power dynamic between hunters and prey. At 88 minutes, it stays tight and forward-moving, typical of low-budget backwoods horror that prioritizes momentum over exposition. Canadian genre filmmaking has produced a steady stream of these rural-terror titles, and Raghorn fits squarely into that lineage, aimed at fans who want brutality delivered without much padding.
