Easter Bunny Bloodbath

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.

Not to be confused with the Bunnyman trilogy (Perish the thought) this comedy/horror featuring a man in an Easter Bunny costume going on a killing spree is about as intellectual as you'd imagine and half as entertaining.

The jokes fall flat, the cast is laughable and there simply isn't enough action to be a competent slasher.

It's not the worst out there by far but the amateurish creation and lack of originality doesn't do it any favours.

The Good:

Interesting killer

Competent Soundtrack

The Bad:

Some of the casting is atrocious

The twist is ultra predictable

Things I learnt from this movie:

The movies soundtrack could very well have influenced Hotline Miami (2012)

Blood is easily cleaned from a pure white bunny suit

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!

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.

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.
