Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter Cottonhell

The Bad Things: E V ER Y T H I NG.

Good things: They tried I guess.

Granted, I was lured in by this 2014 movie's cover. Yeah, I mean, sure I knew it was most likely going to be a dubious movie, but at least that cover looked interesting. So I thought I would give the movie a chance.

Turns out that "Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter Cottonhell" was bad. Really, really bad. Actually, it is one of those movies that are so bad that they are actually fun to watch.

I can't even begin to fathom what writer and director John Bacchus was thinking when coming up with this movie. Sure, it was a horror comedy, and it actually worked out well enough, but the movie was just not making much of any sense if you look at it objectively.

The storyline is straight forward, but there is no background for the events happening in the movie, and it just seems very random at best.

Visually then "Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter Cottonhell" is bad, horribly, horribly bad. That giant bunny looks so grotesquely wrong that it is so much fun to watch. Everything about it is just off, and it looks nothing like the rather interesting monstrous bunny on the movie's cover.

Make no mistake, "Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter Cottonhell" is a low budget movie through and through, and it shows everywhere throughout the entire movie. And it takes a special taste is tacky movies to enjoy a movie such as "Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter Cottonhell". Oddly enough, I did enjoy it because it was so bad.

The acting in the movie was dubious and questionable, but it felt right for the movie though, given the fact that everything else in the movie was so lousy. However, one thing that director John Bacchus should have left out was the pointless nudity, because it just served no purpose for the movie, and it just added an unnecessary element of sleaze to the movie.

My rating of "Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter Cottonhell" lands on a mere fourout of ten stars. It is, however, a movie that you should watch, if you find yourself given the chance. The movie really is so atrociously bad that it is a blast to sit through it.

UK title - The Beaster Bunny. A giant rabbit is on a rampage at Easter, killing everybody that comes across it. No explanation as to why it is 50ft tall is given, but then that does not seem important here. Difficult to rate this one. On the one hand it's simply awful, in particular the "special" effects yet it is also hilariously and stupidly funny. It's fast paced with kills every ten minutes and they are pretty gory plus it has some gratuitous nudity. There is also a crazy Mayor, with a nod to Jaws. I have watched this for the last two Easters but will probably give it a miss for the next two. It's a case of being outrageously funny first time round but the laughs will wear thin with repeated viewings.

After a series of gruesome deaths, the local dog-catcher in a small- town finds that his target is not the rabid dog that's suspected of the crimes when he learns a monstrous rabbit is responsible instead and sets out to put an end to its rampage through town once and for all.

Overall this was a decent if wholly underwhelming creature feature. One of the few positives to be found here is the rather charming and silly attack scenes throughout here, which manage to instill this one with more than enough action to satisfy. The first attacks, taking out several different housewives in their backyards, the creature appearing at the equestrian stable or a couple being chased through the woods which is where it manages to take out all sorts of hikers and couples throughout here as these quite ambushes are all quite fun. There's more fun later on, from the chase through the soccer stadium to the double murder of the workers and the discovery chase through the town all helps give this one some nice action, while the great finale at the festival against all the townspeople who turned up gives this one a rather goofy and cheesy fun. The quantity of these quick ambush attacks, taking bites out of people or simply ripping them in half all gives this one a nice bit of goofy charm that's matched quite nicely by the rather silly special effects method of bringing the main creature to life. Alongside the silly gore and fine nudity, these here make this one decent enough although it does have its share of flaws. The biggest obstacle to overcome here is the rather silly and goofy special effects here, which are so silly and atrocious that they lower this one more so than they really should. It's quite obvious that the giant rabbit is a puppet on strings superimposed onto its surroundings given the stiff, unnatural poses and odd, jerking movements that accompany every single moment it's on-screen and there's nothing that can be done to make it look realistic or believable at all. This type of low-budget effects work is a valiant attempt to try something new and innovative, but there's obviously no real talent behind the effects work here considering the utterly atrocious manner in which it's carried out here and this manages to jerk the viewer straight out of the film during these scenes due to how laughable this is throughout here with the utterly terrible manner it moves here. Another big problem is the lack of detail about what's going on, as there's nothing here about what caused the creature to get to its size as there's nothing here about the creature, what it is or why it's there in the town which makes for an overall thoroughly disappointing being. There's also the rather troubling comedy here which is not in the slightest bit funny and instead causes this one to feel more in line wit how these people are able to function in life as long as they have with the things they do here in the name of trying to solicit a laugh, and the cheesy stupidity featured here makes for a really bland and lifeless time throughout here. Otherwise, this one wasn't all that bad.

Rated R: Graphic Violence, Nudity and Graphic Language.

Quite possibly the stupidest movie ever made. Yep, it's dumb. It is horrible. It is cheap. It is incredibly stupid. It is hilarious.

Man, you have got to see this rabbit. It is unbelievable. It must have cost $17 and taken about 45 minutes for them to create this rabbit. It is undoubtedly the worst rabbit possible. Nothing that you can imagine will even come close to rabbit. You have to see it to believe it.
