Entertainment Reviews:
The film is such candy-floss that it may not realise what a great screwball clinch it could have staged: the seer versus the shrink, two lovers fighting to get a lead on human behaviour.

Demi Moore has never looked lovelier than she does in The Butcher's Wife.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
The Butcher's Wife wants to be a whimsical, heartwarming fantasy, and it almost succeeds, but it is betrayed by its own need to put a Hollywood spin on a plot that doesn't need one.

Rating: 50/100 --
The first half of the film is dreadfully contrived and artificial, from the uneven acting to the stereotype-filled script, to the aforementioned set and production design.

Sappy, insincere and really quite boring.

Description by OLDIES.com:
When deaf-mute Maxie (Shire) goes to work at the local butcher shop, she senses strange things are afoot. When she discovers the beloved town butcher (Tayback) is getting his choicest cuts from the local morgue, she finds herself tangled in a web of deception, betrayal and bloody murder. Featuring incredible suspense and a chilling twist, The Butchers is a lost cannibal classic in the tradition of Silence of the Lambs and Cannibal! The Musical.
