Easter Bunny Bloodbath

There are so many long periods of silence and when they do talk it's very low. I had to keep turning up the volume and 2 seconds later the crappy music kicks in at full blast. The bunny was funny but he's barely in the movie. When he kills the old guy I actually laughed. There were far more times that I cringed and felt embarrassed for everyone involved.

Not to be confused with the Bunnyman trilogy (Perish the thought) this comedy/horror featuring a man in an Easter Bunny costume going on a killing spree is about as intellectual as you'd imagine and half as entertaining.

The jokes fall flat, the cast is laughable and there simply isn't enough action to be a competent slasher.

It's not the worst out there by far but the amateurish creation and lack of originality doesn't do it any favours.

The Good:

Interesting killer

Competent Soundtrack

The Bad:

Some of the casting is atrocious

The twist is ultra predictable

Things I learnt from this movie:

The movies soundtrack could very well have influenced Hotline Miami (2012)

Blood is easily cleaned from a pure white bunny suit

The soundtrack is really excellent for a low budget film, and I couldn't help but love the character of Ranger Chris.

Ridiculous film,but I found myself actually getting involved in the development of the story.

Great choice for an 80's style camp slasher flick, but without the brutal sexism.

Also, the acting was for the most part surprisingly convincing. The party scene reminded me of a slip n slide commercial.

Standard 80's style filming. It reminds me a bit of Garth Merenghi's dark place. They use era specific special effects. The blood squirting was expertly shot.

I think it's only available on VHS - they really stuck religiously to the 80's theme, even with the release!

I happen to have one, so I was able to watch it, but I hope it comes out on DVD.

If you're a fan of Richard Moog, this film (his first) isn't quite what you'd expect. It's still a low budget horror film, obviously, but missing are his disdain of storytelling and filmmaking conventions. Shockingly, this film proves Moog to be quite conversant in both.

It's disorienting to see a Moog film with actual props, trained actors, scripted dialogue, even pacing, a real location, wardrobes, and plausible subtext, but that's what this film has. More surprising still, they all work. It doesn't capture the anarchic glee of his later films, but unlike those, it still functions as an earnest horror film.

Credit must also be given to the ensemble cast, so many of whom are so likable and so different from what we're used to seeing in movies. That's something this does have in common with Moog's later films: his eye for casting unusual talent.

Better horror films exist, but Easter Bunny Bloodbath remains worthy of your investment.

If you like the classic SOV style movies, this is a must watch for you! Unfortunately i don't (which affected my score a little), but somehow I still couldn't stop watching it! Maybe it was from the funny and witty lines? Or the over-the-top scenes (and trust me when I say over-the-top scenes!). Or maybe even the music (Fun and matched perfectly with the scene's atmosphere)? You can tell that this movie was inspired by the old school shot-on-video flicks, but the director made it a little different by adding some modern twist to it. So if you like a little blast from the past, what are you waiting for? Give your mind a rest from modern movies which are all about overpaid celebrities and big budget cg, crack open a beer, sit back and have some fun!
