Set in the early 1960s, The Butcher Boy is about Francie Brady (Eamonn Owens), a 12-year-old boy who retreats into a violent fantasy world to escape the reality of his dysfunctional family; as his circumstances worsen, his sanity deteriorates and he begins acting out, with increasing brutality.

It also won the European Film Award for Best Cinematographer for Adrian Biddle.

The Butcher Boy was the final film produced by The Geffen Film Company until 2024's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and was released before the original company was folded into Warner Bros. in 1998. In addition, it was also Sinéad O'Connor's final feature film before her death in 2023.
