Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter Cottonhell

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.

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.

The Beaster Bunny, or as it's called here "Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter Cottonhell" not sure who Peter Cottonhell is in the film, but I digress. The film is not great.

The plot is a bit rubbish, but I found that it fell together a little bit better than other ultra low budget films, it had conflicts between the two main characters, one arguing with her Father about getting a job, the other, Doug, believing he should have won employee of the year again.

The special effects were poor, but had a sort of low budget charm to them. The music was bad, and the acting wasn't great either, although you could tell there was an element of tongue in cheek. The ending felt a bit rushed too.

3/10: Mildly enjoyable low budget horror, with a somewhat unique villain and lots of kills.

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.

What can you say when you watch a film that lasts under 90 minutes and it still drags, and a film that is so bad it makes Zombeavers look like the Godfather. Obviously it's not to be taken seriously but rarely have I seen a film so awful. It is very funny though, especially the death scenes of various characters, as are some of the ludicrous acting abilities of the "stars". The storyline is thus, a giant killer "rabbit" is on the loose but it takes a few murders for the dopey inhabitants to notice, and even then the whacky mayor refuses to do anything about it. Luckily for us, the viewers we care very little for what happens to anyone in the movie. Even luckier for me I don't have to watch this again.
