I can come into this honestly, for I had never heard of this movie before, never seen any trailers or had any expectations of this film. I consider myself a horror buff, not an expert but as a viewer who has seen her fill and can enjoy an exquisite masterpiece just as much hopeless schlock. Both of us run the gambit of low-budget to blockbuster. Bunnyman, however commits a serious movie crime: its freaking boring.

I can appreciate moody, atmospheric, tense. Things hinted at, mysterious beings. This however, was boring. The first HOUR gave us the token girl being killed, and then, well, we have some road rage and walking. And some talking. And some bickering. And a pointlessly disgusting hillbilly. Then a little killing. Some torture porn.

All in all, it was pointless, sloppy and lazily written. The absence of splatter gore didn't bother me too much, it was absence of caring about any of these characters, trying to find a motivation for our victims (he sets down the chainsaw-?) and trying to I guess fill in the back story of our killers since the movie didn't help at all in that regard.

I saw another reviewer bring up "The Room"- like "Birdemic", all three of these movies suffer from being out of order, story lines that go nowhere and pointless characters. Find another movie for atmosphere, if thats what you're into. This is NOT "David Lynchian"- this is freaking boring. If you're looking for atmosphere, try "Surveillance" with Bill Pullman, directed by Jennifer Lynch. If you're looking for splatter gore, try "Wrong Turn"- I suspect thats what this movie was trying to rip off. If you're looking for low-budget splatter comedy, try "Monster Man" by Michael Davis. Those are some ones I can recommend, that actually ENTERTAIN.

The plot for this movie is simple a group of young morons are tormented by a maniac dressed in a bunny costume. The execution however is terrible.

If your one of those people who shout at the screen every time a character in a horror movie makes a bad decision prepare to scream yourself hoarse. This movie has possibly one of the most moronic group of characters I've ever witnessed. Every decision they make is either the wrong one or just plain stupid. Some choice examples. Never once taking the opportunity to overwhelm a single bad guy when they greatly out number them. Always running off and leaving their friends to die. But my favourite is when the Bunnyman has been chasing them in a truck and is trying to run them off the road they pull over and the Bunnyman pulls up behind them. What do they decide to do? Wait him out, both the truck and the car just sit there for what is portrayed as several hours. DUMB.

The Bunnyman is not alone though he has a pet hunchback chained up in his house. There is also a normal looking woman who has a rather mean streak connected to him. In what way we never find out is she the sister, the mother, who cares, I certainly didn't by this point. If your wondering what the Bunnyman looks like under that bunny head I'll tell you, disappointing.

The gore effects are few and far between pretty much everyone has a chainsaw (the Bunnymans' weapon of choice) shoved into their stomach. But you don't see it, you just see some blood spray up their face. All the kills are off screen so it doesn't even have that in it's favour.

The acting is pretty terrible but then so is the dialogue so you can't win. The sound is also annoying I found myself turning up the volume to hear the talking and then the chainsaw would start going or a car horn or some other irritating sound and it would be deafening.

The movie was a massive disappointment for me. I was expecting something like motel hell, but it was nothing like it. I wasted my money on this movie and the only comfort I can take is that the makers of the film probably didn't get their deposit back from the fancy dress shop they got the Bunnyman costume from.

I really thought this movie would be OK, at least by slasher, horror standards. I couldn't have been more wrong. This movie has no plot and makes no sense. It's starts off with old 8mm footage of a girl waking up in a bath tub and running for her life. They imply it's a camera laying on the ground even though it's moving and switching to other cameras. This scene has nothing to do with the movie you are about to waste your time with. Then it cuts to a girl climbing out of a refrigerator and running from the Bunnyman. She climbs into the back of an old truck and somehow Bunnyman is in it and he drives away. I don't even know if that made sense. I think we never see what happens to the girl but I can't be sure. Then it cuts to a group of people who are now the focus of the Bunnyman. Two different times they say that their car can't out run Bunnyman's large truck that is at a stand still. They clearly aren't very bright. There's no gore, they just splash lots of blood. There's also no nudity, just a fully clothed raped scene. I thought this was a major motion picture but it's clearly a low budget turd.

After reading a blurb about this movie declaring it "the most hardcore horror film of the year", I set out to watch it for two reasons: I either had to know how awesome it would be or how wrong that blurb was. It was wrong. Dead wrong. In so, so many ways. Allow me to explain.

I can excuse a lot of things in low-ish budget horror movies. I understand you do what you can with what you have. I had to stop making excuses for this movie after about 20 minutes. The acting is among some of the worst I've seen in quite some time. It actually made me cheer on the ridiculous antagonist solely because I wanted all of these kids dead so I wouldn't have to put up with their unique brand of suck anymore. Then there's multiple levels of laziness. Putting the bad guy in a bunny costume? Are you kidding me? The only reason you do that is because you're too damn lazy to do the makeup. Same goes for all of the kill scenes. They're all implied, never shown aside from some blood spray. Yes, it saves money but it also makes you look lazy and incompetent if you use that style every single time.

I'm trying to think of something redeemable in this movie and I just can't. I was almost mad at myself for sitting through the entire 90 minutes without throwing something at my TV. Low budget horror movies are supposed to be fun...or at least an attempt to get away with something that wouldn't really go over well in a theater. But this...this is just a failure on so many levels that it's embarrassing.

Some of the reviews for this movie (and so many others) really get on my nerves. You're reviewing a movie about a slasher who wears a bunny suit and then griping that "the acting is terrible" and the overall movie is horrible. When a blurb says that a film is supposed to be "the most hardcore" anything I can almost guarantee IT'S NOT. As a proclaimed B- movie aficionado, you should know better.

This isn't the worst low budget movie ever. This isn't even the worst low budget movie with a slasher in a weird costume I've ever seen. So, I ask of other reviewers: What exactly are you looking for in a low budget slasher flick with a dude in an Easter Bunny suit? Fellini?

Now then. I actually quite enjoyed the movie. Despite what other reviewers have claimed, the acting is surprisingly good. I've certainly seen much worse. Hell, I've seen worse in the last 24 hours. The action lagged in areas and the gore wasn't really explicit enough for me (I'm a total gore hound), but overall not too shabby.

Don't let the Negative Nellys above scare you off. Check it out!

This movie is about as "fun" as a bunny making doo in your hand. Don't be conned by the gimmick. Killer in bunny suit. That's about as deep as that rabbit hole goes. The script attempts to expand the mythology of the killer and his crew but it fails miserably and leaves questions unanswered. The acting is terrible. The motives of the characters are insulting. The characters will actually make you loathe them almost immediately with their initial plan of action on first contact. It's hard to empathize or have any interest beyond that first encounter. So there's a sequel...how shocking...these guys love to take horror fans money because we're so loyal. If you watch it...make sure your pal is footing the bill and remember that you heard it was bad. Rub it in when your done...it's the only satisfaction you'll get watching this pile of poo.

As a connoisseur of bad movies, I've seen more than my share in the last 30 years of seeking them out. Movies with low production values but high on heart and creativity. Movies made on a shoestring budget that have often transcended their limitations, achieved much more than what was intended, and inspired others to do the same. The Evil Dead would be a shining example of this success. Some fall short, but many others have succeeded on some level. Just about all have at least some subtle value, or even a small cult following. This is not one of them. I'm not sure if I can even articulate how bad this movie is. Bunnyman is basically a sad commentary on where movie making is lately. It is not even close to being in the "So bad it's good" category, being watchable just for the laughs alone. This one is "So bad it's just stupid". You can't even make fun of it because it's physically painful to watch. It's as if a group of 12 year olds made a movie, never having seen a movie before; this would be the result. The situations, and the actors' reactions to them, are, well... just plain stupid. The whole thing is just an insult to your intelligence. For instance, a psycho in a huge truck is bashing into a car in a road-rage type assault, and the 6 passengers in the car don't yell, scream, or say anything for the longest time. One even sleeps through it (maybe he wasn't acting?). Is there really a 4-door sedan made that can't outrun a 24' long, 3-ton flatbed truck? After he runs them off the road and disables their car in the process, their first reaction: let's take a nap! The whole thing is just nonsensical crap. Very few movies manage to actually assault the viewer's intelligence and incense them to the point of rage for having wasted their time, but Bunnyman delivers on that one. This one makes "Alien 3000" look like Oscar material. You could literally strap a video reorder to a park bench in a large city, point it to the nearest intersection, hit record, walk away, and have a more interesting 90 min product to watch. If this counts as a movie, absolutely anyone on the planet can make movies. Hands down the worst dreck ever put to video. I'd rather be strapped to a chair and forced to watch an endless loop of Progressive insurance commercials. You have been warned.

Some of the dumbest characters to ever be put on film. Dumb choice after dumb choice. Horrible dialog coupled with dismal acting make this hard to stomach. The gore is off screen and includes the disappointing spray. I expect that from television, even though shows like Supernatural have more gore than this movie. This movie had a million opportunities to be good and failed, miserably every time.

From the moment the turds in the car began speaking, I wanted them dead. I wanted them all dead. Lets walk down a dirt road lined forever with upside down crosses and then human bones in bags hanging from trees. The guy says to his girl, "I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation". Are you F'n kidding me dude? I see human remains in bags I run, the other way. If there was a sign that said "HELL" and it pointed down, this crew of idiots would go down.

I've seen porns with better acting and back stories.

The concept was great about a slasher in a bunnyman costume but the movie has NO plot and the killing is done off screen. No gore just buckets of blood splashed on people and signs. Terrible dialogue. A complete waste of time. It looks like the movie was filmed with a cell phone. There was absolutely NO budget for this trash. Maniac, Chromeskull, Pieces, even the Mutilator all on a tiny budget were a very good and entertaining movies. Not sure how trash like this even gets made.

Have an appreciation for horror with shades of thriller, slasher can be done well as well. So despite hearing a lot of negativity, 'Bunnyman's' premise did really intrigue. Plus the cover was an attention-grabbing one. Really wanted to like it and for it to not be another waste of decent potential.

Watching it, unfortunately 'Bunnyman' turned out to be exactly that...a waste of decent potential. Not how to execute an intriguing idea. It's not irredeemably awful by any stretch, there is one good thing. Sadly eclipsed by the numerous things 'Bunnyman' gets catastrophically wrong. Some unintentional humour that was just cheesy and irritating, the attempts at seriousness felt misplaced and the incoherence of the editing and the dialogue make it very difficult to take it seriously and the horror elements were predictable, not scary and too tame, no matter how much gratuitous blood effects it threw in.

Lets get the good things out of the way first. The best thing about 'Bunnyman' is the villain's look, it is great. So cool and menacing, not goofy at all.

Uniformly the acting ranges from very bad to truly terrible, lots of histrionics and an equal amount of phoning in. Their cringe-worthy, unintentionally silly dialogue (one deserves a prize if they succeed in not bursting out laughing when they're not meant to, that is a challenge), annoying characters with stupid and illogical decision-making and behaviours and indifferent direction gave them no favours.

Neither did the story, which is paper thin and much of it doesn't make any sense, with scenes that bear no relevance. There is no tension or suspense here, no surprises, no creativity, no wit and the only thing that is scary is the look of the villain and the scare factor ends there. The kills are un-creative, instead of biting the nails one is shrugging their shoulders, and the whole horror atmosphere feels tame and leans towards being dumb.

'Bunnyman' is an eyesore visually. With the lighting and camera work, it seemed to striving for the showing off or experimenting with supposedly arty to them feel but instead it comes off amateurish and nauseating. The editing is incoherent. Cannot remember the music, other than its over-bearing intrusiveness.

Overall, not irredeemable but very bad. 2/10 Bethany Cox

Oh. My. God.

I like bad movies. I really do. Even if they're laughably bad, or have unintentional humor, I can find something to like, that make it worth sitting through the flick to the end. Whether somewhat recent, such as "Aliens vs Avatars" (2011), or ancient history, such as "The Giant Claw" (1957), I could find plenty to like and laugh about in a movie, no matter how bad it might be.

Unfortunately, "Bunnyman" had no such redeeming qualities, except maybe the cute bunny-costume on the title character, and the incredibly hot Cheryl Texiera who's a pleasure to ogle, umm, watch.

From the beginning, "Bunnyman" became almost too painful to watch, and only got worse. I don't think I ever, in any slasher flick, actually HOPED the "good" characters would meet their demise, but in this case, they were just so painfully stoooooopid that I found myself rooting for the Bunnyman, if only to make the movie stop! Their actions throughout the movie were akin to lighting a match in a dark cellar to find where's the leak in the gas main. You're left open-mouthed in utter disbelief. I can't imagine any twentysomethings with more than two brain-cells to rub together, to do what these kids did in the movie.

I don't care about plot-holes that can be explained away reasonably, and I don't pick apart movies because they may have featured a 1972 Datsun, or a radio was playing a top-10 hit from 1971, when the movie would be ostensibly set in 1970, but, oh lordy, without getting into spoilers, these characters could win the Nobel Prize for stupidity.

Watch this movie, if only to experience what might be one of the truly worst movies you'll ever come across. At least you'll appreciate actually GOOD bad-movies!

This movie is so bad because the poor acting, camera, editing and directing. All in all not quality film.

I am sorry.

I saw a lot of reviews giving this a very negative review. However I have seen so many horror movies so much worse it makes the money film look so much better. There was a few bad things on the script when the boy put down the chainsaw when he could have killed the guy there was several times where they did things like that which kind of ruins the movie. However putting a mask on of a rabbit was kind of interesting at least it kept you in suspense not knowing what he looked like. I kind of reminds me of Friday the 13th with that Jason character. Anyway it wasn't as bad as what people say here I actually kind of enjoyed it for a low budget horror movie.
