Crackcoon

Based off of the name, people would associate this film as the inspiration taken from Cocaine Bear. However of course it's not nearly as good given the story, the characters and most importantly the budget. There's nothing special in this film. It's simply about a fake puppet looking raccoon who stumbles upon a bag filled with "rare" drugs, injects it then turns into a crazed killing machine.

The story is filled with a bunch of random intersecting characters with essentially the leads being an over the top unfunny couple, a woman and a sheriff. Jessa Flux also features briefly here and she has her customary shower skin scene plus more (1:13:30, 1:17:40). The film does pick up in the second half but essentially it's just not a "so bad it's good" film and it's not a future cult classic.

I had actually been looking forward to this movie ever since I first saw the poster/cover when it was revealed. Sure, I wasn't harboring any grand expectations, as there has been a bunch of questionable movies with animals on drugs after the success of "Cocaine Bear". But, the movie's cover/poster really was interesting, and the movie's concept was interesting.

And finally I had the chance to sit down and watch director Brad Twigg's 2024 movie "Crackcoon". So was it worth the wait? No, not really. Sure, "Crackcoon" was better than many of the other low budget movies with animals on drugs, but it was nowhere near the league of "Cocaine Bear". Sure, it was watchable, but it just wasn't an outstanding or particular memorable viewing experience.

Of course I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. And that is actually something I enjoy when I sit down to watch movies. The acting performances in "Crackcoon" were fair. Of the entire cast ensemble, it was only actress Rosaria Eraso that managed to stand up in my opinion.

The raccoon looked rather fake, especially since it was relatively inarticulate and moved about in a lifeless manner.

The movie does have a fair share of blood and gore, which wasn't the best of special effects, but it was actually sufficiently gory enough to lift up the movie a notch or two.

Ultimately I found "Crackcoon" somewhat of a disappointing movie. But if you enjoy outrageous horror comedies, then you might consider giving this movie a chance.

My rating of "Crackcoon" lands on a four out of ten stars.

I definitely was not expecting much when I rented this film off of YouTube. I went to the matinee on the day that Cocaine Bear opened, so I consider myself an expert in films like this. The first 30 to 40 minutes were uneventful.

But once the killing started there were many memorable moments that will stick with you, and for that alone makes this film, head and shoulders above many other films including other genres, too.

The raccoon was so awesomely scrappy looking without going in the detail, I just loved the over the top everything towards the end. And the gratuitous nude scenes, which is exactly where gratuitous nothing more we're great!

Now I am going to be as short as humanly possible. Please stop wasting your time watching this low IQ brain dead micro budget cheap looking pieces of celluloid.

Movie description: Not sure who makes those movies but they are awful and I mean real awful, from the script, to the story to the acting, and even worse the so called special effects. Its terribly filmed and it look amateur at WORST. Even if it was aiming at a comedy horror gender it failed on every way. The raccoon himself is a puppet and when it attacks the so called actor or cast hold it on place it's that hilarious.

P. S. I am a non bias reviewer critic and I try to warn you on what not to watch. First off this kannibalcorpsegrinder guy is certainly a studio shill who 100% has connects to these low budget independent films. There is no way this film is a 10/10 and is "near-flawless".

I know I am not the only one who reads his reviews and gets irritated by his constant nonsense spewing. Literally it is all lies. Please do not listen to a word he says. Thanks guysss! (Jericho voice)

This is one of those films that overall is pretty bad. I'm NOT suggesting anyone watch this expecting a decent film. It's a pretty horrible film.

But it's so bad.. it may be worth a watch.

Acting across the board is very sub-par, except for the unhappy wife wanting to go to Florida. She could act.

The worst actor in this is the puppet used for the raccoon. So, yeah, its a puppet.. clearly. Not an animatronic or CGI-generated.. a puppet on someone's hand that has as much expression as one would expect. Actually, I'm not even sure it's a puppet.. it may have been a stuffed animal glued to a stick so they could shake it. But that all lends to the comedically bad nature of the film.

The storyline is rather straightforward, and, well, the film title gives it away. It's just a basic slasher flick with an animal.

Has it's fair share of comedic lines, unfortunately the acting is so bad the comedy is often delivered poorly. But it is what it is. It's over-the-top..

The first bit is a tough watch. Just really, really, bad acting... But eventually the old-school sex and violence kick in... along with too much fake blood.. that's what makes it so bad it's worth watching.

To be clear... this film is BAD, really BAD... but it's so bad you may enjoy it if you are sick of the "universes" with their overly glossy CGI-based formulaic comic book stories.
