Horror feature Boneboys offers one of the more ridiculous taglines this year: "You are what you eat." The characters in the film eat or sell human flesh. So, if they are humans or cannibals, the tagline suggests that they are still humans. Maybe the producers need to go back to the drawing board with that one. In the film's defence, this title has been influenced by Jonathan Swift's satire "A Modest Proposal." This is a piece that suggests Irish babies should be sold to the richer elite for consumption (from the 18th Century). Thus, the killer's might simply be babies. Whatever the case, the tagline is strange indeed.
Boneboys is also significant for reuniting many actors from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre according to the UHM. Those appearing from the TCM franchise include Marilyn Burns (Sally from original), Bill Johnson (Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Ed Neal (Hitchhiker in original), Bill Wise (Heckler from Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Next Generation), Perry Lorenz (Pick Up Driver from original) and John Dugan (Grandfather from original). This latest picture has been scripted by Kim Henkel who also wrote the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. So, there will be similarities between Boneboys and the other films listed here.
