Breaking Glass Pictures is excited to announce the release of Butchers Bluff, a blood-soaked homage to 1980s slasher films, on March 11, 2025. Directed by William Instone and Matt Rifley, this bone-chilling horror film pits a group of college film students against the dark and twisted urban legend of the Hogman.

William Instone, Writer/Director, on why he chose Breaking Glass Pictures:
"Rich Wolff understood exactly what we were going for with the throwback tribute to 1980s slasher film, Butchers Bluff, and was willing to put some skin in the game to help us finish up the final polish we needed before releasing this passion project to world.
