Bodies pile up as Bunnyman indiscriminately slaughters anything that crosses his path in a mutually beneficial relationship that gives Joe plenty of beef jerky to sell in his local store.Bodies pile up as Bunnyman indiscriminately slaughters anything that crosses his path in a mutually beneficial relationship that gives Joe plenty of beef jerky to sell in his local store.Bodies pile up as Bunnyman indiscriminately slaughters anything that crosses his path in a mutually beneficial relationship that gives Joe plenty of beef jerky to sell in his local store.

This is ur typical low budget indie slasher movie and it definitely achieved that goal but im just not a big fan of watching a 2 hours movie of 2 eggheads killing girls. I get that it's the perspective of the killers so what else is there to show but this was just such a snooze fest😭😭 at least they showed that they tried to show that they had a little personality despite being a mentally ill furry. There's a lot of ppl who are into low budget sadistic sht like this so this movie is definitely recommend to those weirdos but if u dont like corny "horror" movies this is definitely not worth ur 2 hours of time.
It wasn't possible to be worse. So Bunnyman heard your complaints and this time he starts off by running amok on a school bus, quickly followed by some pointless nudity. My favorite thing in the movie is that they went out of their way to mention that he got stabbed in the neck in the first movie. If they hadn't done that it would be easy to argue that this movie was possibly a reboot, not a sequel. But anyway, they never explained anything about Bunnyman in the first movie and this one just makes it more confusing. So now he just has another guy he's always with. Bunnyman has more friends than me. The new guy tries to explain that the people from the first movie were Bunnyman's family and I think this new guy is his brother. They also changed his head from the Red Skull look to a more Darth Vader-ish thing. They show a tiny bit of gore this time, so that's something. Watch at your own risk.
This movie, to put it simply, fails as a horror. Miserably at that. However, if you go into it expecting not something to scare you but instead a comedy, then it's actually a pretty enjoyable experience. I'd recommend bringing some friends along as laughing at it with others is just too funny an opportunity to pass on.
The actors do a decent job. They're not going to shock you with their performance (aside of the decisions their characters make during the movie, because at that point, I think it's just natural selection rather than a streak of unluckiness) but it's definitely not terrible.
The scares are nonexistent. I doubt a child would get scared much at the movie, let alone an adult! But what they lack in scary content they make up for with the utter nonsensical writing; the characters' actions will have you yelling at them to do what any normal person would, because they're kind of stupid.
Overall, this movie doesn't deserve a high rating because it's objectively not good. But even if I rated it a low score, I think it's still enjoyable if you watch it in the way I mentioned before - like a comedy, not a thriller/horror.

Carl Lindbergh is back with "The Bunnyman Massacre" (2014), his second entry in his "Bunnyman" franchise; and I understand that a third one is in the works. This one is a low budget fusion of "Motel Hell" (1980) and "Kiss & Tell" (1997); and yet another homage to the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974). Unfortunately, none of the female cast is remotely in the sexploitation class of "Motel Hell's" Monique St. Pierre or "Kiss & Tells" Heather Graham – in other words no viewer will be at the edge of his seat hoping to see any of them take off their tops.
Unlike Pamela Gidley's murderous "Beta Carotene" character in "Kiss & Tell", this bunny is (once again) in an actual rabbit costume with a happy face, the kind of costume commonly seen at a community Easter Egg Hunt. The incongruity gives Lindbergh tons of visual juxtapostioning opportunities, the inspiration and entire basis for the "Bunnyman" franchise.
Lindbergh seems to have taken some time to write a very humorous 26-minute black comedy segment, pitched it to some financial backers, and then shot the first one fourth of his film. During this segment the title character breaks movie conventions by attacking a school bus of children on a rural road and then eats dinner with his associate Joe. We learn (during a Mad Hatter inspired dinner scene) that Bunnyman's rage comes from his frustration at being required to stay a vegetarian, because bunnies don't eat meat.
After 26 minutes you are convinced that Lindbergh has a winner here, with it shaping up into the most original black comedy treatment the genre has ever seen. All he has to do is maintain the tension and suspense, which he could easily do by alternating quick kills and unexpected escapes, using a little misdirection to make it impossible for viewers to sort out targets from non-targets.
But by the 30 minute mark you realize that he has already shot his bolt in the initial segments and has simply cobbled together and tacked on sixty minutes of listless moronic filler to get his film up to feature length. The only exception being an inspired sequence of barrel rolling – the best of which involves emptying the barrel for reuse.
Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

I was expecting something a lot worse than this, so guess cause I had low expectations, it managed to make somewhat of an impression on me.
They did build some character depth, showed some personalities here, still, the movie is not for everyone. A lot of talking, many unnecessary scenes, overall to be honest, I got bored. So many movies like this one, when they can't create a proper plot therefore, lets focus on some blood, tits and harsh language, maybe we can get away with it. I'm so done with such productions, no tension, no scares, nothing new, but they try to hit the horror scene for the sake of what? Wasting money, time and people's patience!
Nothing good came out of this one, so I will be a tad bit aggressive on it: The Bunnyman Massacre is a very weak attempt, where almost nothing happens, a few bullets, a chainsaw and a bunny costume. Nothing interesting, nada, zero, below zero actually. Go around this one and thank me later!
Cheers!
