Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter Cottonhell

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.

"Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter Cottonhell" is a film that reportedly cost about $150,000 to make. Amazingly, as I watched, I couldn't understand how it even cost a tenth of that! After all, there is nothing professional at all about this mess of a film and it's terrible in just about every way. And, perhaps this is being charitable! But, oddly, it's strangely watchable in its awfulness and fortunately it never takes itself seriously. Because of this it reminds me of a much lower budgeted and even cheesier version of "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"...with lots of gratuitous nudity, blood and foul language.

The film has little in the way of plot or acting. Much of the film simply consists of total idiots or women who inexplicably take their clothes off that are eaten by a 50 foot rat-like creature. While this sounds pretty dumb, it's much worse. The 'killer bunny' is obviously a marionette and the filmmakers really don't try very hard to make it look realistic. It rips people in half again and again throughout the movie--and repeatedly the incompetent stoner mayor keeps insisting that the killings are all being perpetrated by some Amish who have gone bad! So it's up to the one semi-competent member of the local animal control unit to put a stop to this madness.

Do I recommend the film? Well, maybe. If you have a high tolerance for the offensive and like a good laugh, then my all means give the movie a chance. It is pretty funny in a brainless sort of way. Better yet, see it with a group of like-minded friends so you can all sit around and laugh at this mess of a film. If, however, you the sort who impatiently waits for the next season of "Downton Abbey" or want to show a film to your Sunday school class, then perhaps you might just want to skip this incredibly silly and amateurish film. One way or another, don't say I didn't warn you!

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.

Not funny and not good at all...it makes no sense except you will see lots of trashy stripper boobs...
