Bunny und sein Killerding

My favorite killer were-bunny-on-a-rampage, horror sex comedy, Finnish/UK international production of 2015.

I laughed a lot watching this, but wouldn't recommend it to anyone easily offended. Gets a bit racy and gross.

But seriously, what did I just watch? It's a comedy and a horror movie. And maybe a little pornographic.

With a title as Bunny the Killer Thing, we immediately get a sense as to what this film would be about. Described as a horror comedy, this is a slight slasher film with a main monstrous villain.

The film is a decent enough watch but hardly anything special. The Bunny creature is simply a person whom gets injected with some experimental bunny medicine/ serum of some sort.

The gory isn't too violent though most of the kills by the Bunny where murder by rape- which was more comedic and bizarre than scary.

There were many characters most of which were generic and simply there to take up time.

Also a lot of the film's dialogue isn't in English and being unable to watch with subtitles, was slightly difficult in fully understanding what was occurring (mainly the beginning- English becomes more prominent as the film progresses).

Note: Bizarrely enough there is a post end credit scene featuring the young teen wondering the woods. It starts around the 1:21:00.

The bunny is basically a sex robot which doesn't happen in movies soo basically it's a funny horror movie that knows its a joke this movie doesn't deserve this kinda rating.

First, this is not an Easter movie. It always seems to be listed in Easter movie lists by mistake.

Second, the movie is one big mess that is mainly a compiled script of useless characters whose sole purpose is to be the targets of a randy killer monster bunny that just wants a certain female body part and will stop at nothing to get it. The monster bunny just dangles and twirls his "thing" as he chases the characters. That's about all it does as the characters regurgitate their useless lines that serve no purpose. Some exploitation is thrown in to add to the silliness.

Regarding 'Bunny the Killer Thing', that it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there (though there are decent to good ones as well), made me apprehensive. Did like the idea though somewhat, though it was one that would go either way in execution (creepy or camp) and the cover gave the impression it would be fun and creepy if also silly.

'Bunny the Killer Thing' was one weird film and for me it was a difficult one to rate and review because my feelings on it were so conflicted and the film was so strange. Is it a good film? Not really. Is it terrible? Didn't think so. Does it intrigue somewhat? Yes. Does it scare? Sometimes. Does it entertain? Guess so. Are there worse films out there? Absolutely yes, far worse, as well as much better.

It is atmospherically shot and the sound isn't too obvious or intrusive. The actors knew what sort of film they were in and give better than expected performances, not amazing but serviceable. The titular character is much creepier than it sounds on paper and has a personality.

There is some amusing dark humour and there are moments that are suspenseful and creepy.

Admittedly though, the effects are ropy and the bunny looks ridiculously cheap. The violence tends to be overdone and at times gratuitous. Not all the humour works, some of it is out of place and parts are not as tasteful as they could. If anybody at all takes issue with a serious subject like rape being poked fun at that is understandable, it was below the belt.

While the story was far from a dull one and had enough good moments of unsettlement and suspense, this wasn't sustained all the way through, too many parts are just stupid beyond belief and things can get chaotic and all-over-the-place that it can affect the coherence. A lot of elements are thrown and it all feels at the end of the day too much, some of it was not necessary and again bad taste appears (the nudity etc. was overused to vulgar degrees). The characters are sketchy and some of their decisions are bizarre and don't make sense.

Overall, a very weird film and it was difficult what to make out of it. There were things that to me did come over reasonably but this is not a film that will attract wide audiences or be watched over and over again and may alienate many. 5/10 Bethany Cox
