Bunnyman Vengeance

Have an appreciation for horror with shades of thriller, slasher can be done well as well. So despite hearing a lot of negativity, 'Bunnyman Vengeance'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 Vengeance' turned out to be exactly that...a waste of decent potential for precisely the same reasons as the previous 'Bunnyman' films. 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 Vengeance' 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 Vengeance' 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 (so there is nothing to make us root for them) 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. It is also contradictory in continuity and personally didn't notice many answers, one that satisfied or interested anyhow 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. Other than the villain's look, the rest of the effects are ropy.

'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

If you enjoy Wrong turn, The hills have eyes and Texas chainsaw massacre this is the same type of movie. Is it as disgusting and evil as those other horror movies? - I'm not sure, but a lot of people die in horrible ways. Sometimes the deaths are portrayed a bit humorous and it works, adding a tone to the raw violence. The movie has been influenced by other horror films and is in no way unique. But I like it.

First a disclaimer, I'm a fan of the franchise so I'm a bit biased here. What we have in part 3 is both the expected and unexpected. Expected cause the filmmakers finally answered the questions us fans wanted from day 1, Who is Bunnyman? where did Bunnyman come from? When your at part 3, you gotta answer some questions for the fans. The unexpected is we have basically a hole new cast of characters to surround the main protagonist. This is good since it keeps the franchise fresh. This was a good installment in the franchise.

As a huge horror fan and fan of independent films, I know and appreciate a good horror flick when I see one. There was a lot of heart and soul put into this film, and it shows. The music through out the film gives an unnerving tone and just gets you uneasy. The way it is filmed does make it more realistic and scary. Aside from other reviews on this page, id have to politely disagree, I think all of the actors did superb on acting and everything about the film you can tell a lot of hard work was put in. For an independent film, from a true horror fan such as myself, I give this five stars. Thats what a film is all about, having fun watching it. Not a lot of people know what it is like to make a film.... i.e. the money that gets put into it, the time, the writing, the scripts, location scouting, planning, rehearsal, makeup, etc.... therefore those people cannot appreciate all the effort one put into the film. The film is just a fun watch.

And the final score is: Bunnies 2, Coons 0!! GAME OVER!!!
