Bunnyman Vengeance (2017)
Bunnyman Vengeance provides enough macabre entertainment
Bunnyman Vengeance doesn't pull off its stylistic intention in a way that communicates a well-rounded story. The story feels skimmed for its gruesome premise, while the atmosphere tugs between stark surrealism and vintage 80's notes, made more confusing by the sampling of previous Bunnyman films. When considering the evocative, deliberate crafting of Bunnyman Vengeance, it seems a shame that the director didn't take the same detailed approach.
However, and the combination of design and casting is hard to dismiss altogether. Its combination of awkward dark humor, surrealism, and horror has all the ingredients of a midnight masterpiece. One just wishes Lindbergh would have taken everything a step further - deeper, crazier, nastier. Considering the setup, he should have done so much more.
Even if Bunnyman Vengeance doesn't live up to its potential, its visceral imagery is very effective, and the film momentarily captivates through uncanny design and great cinematography. Lindbergh remains a director to watch, particularly if he finds stronger source material next time. Howeve Bunnyman Vengeance does provide enough macabre entertainment to hold us over until that happens.
The Bunnyman Massacre (2014)
a GOOD B-movie horror film
I feel you. B-movie horror films and the creature feature sub-genre as a whole have more than run their respective courses. We are all pretty much at the point where we start a movie, realize it's yet another creature feature, and I immediately roll my eyes. Yet, every now and again one comes across that grabs me. The Bunnyman Massacre did just that.
It's no secret that I love monster movies. They're the chicken soup for our collective souls. So give me one with a creative passion; and you immediately have my attention. From the jump we're introduced to bizarre surreal scene of a giant killer Bunnyman killing kids on a school bus. Now, I have seen countless horror films including every permitation of a zombie, vampire, monster possible. However, I have not see a giant Bunnyman in a film before, and certainly not one with a dark scene of humor killing kids on a school bus.
