Easter Killing

A year after graduating high school, several youths in England are invited to a vacation home by a mutual friend thought to be dead. They all show up due to guilt, along with a couple guests, but a mysterious person in a huge bunny mask starts picking 'em off one-by-one. Will anyone survive?

"Easter Bunny Massacre" (2021) is a low-budget Brit slasher with no-name actors influenced by "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer" just with a cabin-in-the-woods setting.

I saw the director's previous film and was impressed by the relative proficient filmmaking so decided to give this a shot. The technical quality is actually a slight step down, probably due to much of the flick being shot indoors (as opposed to his other one). But the cast and writing are good for the most part, except for a couple of eye-rolling cliches. The moody score creates a reverent tone, reminiscent of the song "A Deeper Kind of Slumber" from 1997.

Speaking of the tone, I appreciate how the proceedings are kept serious despite the amusing nature of the killer wearing a blood-soaked bunny mask. Yet I couldn't help wondering how the slayer was able to move around so stealthily wearing such an awkward piece. Wouldn't you have to see and hear properly to do what he does?

The female cast is quite good, highlighted by brunette Sarah T. Cohen (Janey), redhead May Kelly (Amy) and blonde Antonia Whillans (Heather).

The movie runs 1 hour, 25 minutes, and was shot in Somerset, England, which is a 3-hour drive west of London.

GRADE: C-/C.

.. but the very next, you gave your memory away ... or something along those lines. It doens't always have to fit the song or pun - so no pun intended. Just go with the flow. It is a massacre anyway ... well according to one of the titles of the movie. Of course as others also have noted: you could also go with "I know what you did last summer" ... just replacing summer with Easter.

The blueprint is there - but it makes you feel that the other movie is a citizen kane - compared to this. Try not to - this movie has no chance to withstand that comparison. You could also say that there are some notions of Scream in here ... again a comparison this movie would not survive - it would be a massacre to quote the movie again.

The costume is nice, I reckon the actors look good ... and the cinematography is really not that bad ...

Terrible, don't waste your time and money watching it like they wasted theirs making it.

Amateurish direction and cinematography akin to a student film at very best.

The script writing would be acceptable perhaps if it was written to be purposefully so bad that it was meant to be a comedy.

As a horror film, I had to keep turning it off over and over again; not because it was too scary but because it was so bad.

Promised myself to finish it and much like a dinner spent with terrible people and food you felt like you had wasted your evening, without gaining anything from it.

Begging you not to watch this film, it is not even funny bad, it's just meant for the bin.

This is so bad. Might as well call it "I Know What You Did Last Easter". Plus the way they kept cutting back to the party feels like a bad "Murder, She Wrote" mystery. Plus if they were blacked out stoned, how can they keep remembering things that happened? The blood was obvious cherry syrup. Lastly, the bunny suit was pre-blood covered at the first movie. I guess dry cleaning between takes wasn't in the budget. In fact I think it had a budget so low that even the Asylum would be ashamed of it. It's cheap, it's dumb and it's boring.

A fun film with a good story and fun suspense. I liked the music too. The final scenes were great and I liked the characters. Nice concept, I liked the twist at the end.
