Reception

A review at Horror News commented, "B.C. Butcher is the kind of film that seems like it was fun to be on the set. That same fun is not felt in the overall production. The story is muddled, the effects are terrible, the script is childish, and the acting is groan-worthy."{{Cite web |date=2016-01-29 |title=Film Review: B.C.
