Crackcoon

It's like Tommy Wiseau and Neil Breen were kidnapped by Somali pirates where they were shown deliverance and cocaine bear on repeat, fed only chicken wings and Mountain Dew code red. They were going to be sold to Nick Cage to produce trash films for him to star in. As usual Nick blew his money and so they had to release Tommy and Neil back into the wild.

This film is the first step in their long recovery from the trauma they endured which projects itself as a drug addicted trash panda killing a disjointed cast of rando bus stop people.

I really hope they get the help they need because this film was somehow more boring than anything else they made.

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.

Brad Twigg's Crackcoon is not going to be everyone's cup of tea. It's a low budget indie horror film, meaning it was crowd funded and then created with the funds raised on Indiegogo.

A raccoon eats some street crack that gets tossed out by two drug dealers about to be pulled over by the police. When the dealers return to where they tossed the drugs, they find them missing and meet up with the cracked out raccoon. The raccoon attacks everyone who comes into it's path. The attacks are gory and funny.

If you enjoy your horror mixed with humor, you'll enjoy Crackcoon. Again, this is an independent film shot on a small budget. It isn't going to look like or have the effects of a multimillion dollar film. If you keep your expectations in place, you'll find Crackcoon to be a quality film.

Also, many popular actors and actresses of the current indie horror scene are in this including; Beth Metcalf (Inner Beauty), Morrigan Milam (Lust, Magic, and the Witches Sabbath), Angel Bradford (Night of the Axe), Hunter Redfern (Inner Beauty) and the fabulous Jessa Flux (Murdercise).

Checkout Crackcoon and be sure to support indie horror.

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.

Could best be described as a white exploitation film. No fear factor supplied by mediocre characters. Perhaps some acting classes and a non bubble gum budget could have made this film tolerable. The ratty assed racoon looked like it was designed by blind highschool children. The nude scenes couldn't save this one. The opening scene cuts to inexplicable morgue scene. The portrayal of the gay men was lame. I gave one star for the sheriff's wife's boobs. The best thing about the movie is that it ended. I am praying to the movie gods that there will not be a sequel. Mankind has suffered enough misery.
