Easter Bunny Bloodbath

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.

With seemingly every horror film being remade to death (and becoming more and more boring), finally something new comes along. A slasher film with the Easter bunny as the killer. Did you get that? Read it again. Someone actually pulled it off- and it works! It's shot on video too, which adds to the movie's feel rather than hinder it. I've seen a lot of shot on video movies and I really dug what they were doing here. There's a lot of comedy in the movie too, but it's never the kind that spoofs horror films or gets stupid. In fact the comedy is the best stuff in the film. You really get the sense that these guys took a camera out on a weekend and just started shooting... which helps make it feel like a home movie but it's edited tight and never gets boring. It gets pretty intense towards the end too and even though we never doubt who the killer is, it's fun to watch the characters figure it out. Finally I have a new horror for Easter!

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.

This was hilariously bad. The kills,acting,directing,writing,blood splatter etc.the ranger was not needed in this movie but was there for comedy I guess?. Don't waste your time with this film. The music lol omg the music.

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!
