Another urban legend is about to prove he’s anything but fictional.

BUTCHERS BLUFF is coming to VOD from Breaking Glass Pictures March 11. Directed by William Instone and Matt Rifley from a script by Instone and Renfield Rasputin, it stars Michael Fischer, Paige Steakley, Johnny Huang, Paul T. Taylor, Bill Oberst Jr., Jeremy London, L.C. Holt, Brinke Stevens, Bill Johnson and Instone himself as the murderous Hogman. The synopsis: “In a reclusive Texas town 28 people have gone missing over the last 20 years. A group of college film students seek to capitalize on the dark twisted urban legend of the Hogman as the subject of their thesis film. After one weekend in Butchers Bluff, their only gain is also their loss.”
