Easter Casket (2013 Video)
8/10
Fun and highly enjoyable effort
16 April 2017
Upset over the treatment of the holiday, the Easter Bunny escapes into our world to wreak havoc on the church groups intending to officially ban the holiday and forces a devout priest to protect his next targeted victim before he kills her to complete his deadly mission.

For a micro-budget effort, this one was quite enjoyable. What really makes this one so much fun is the fact that there's no end to the wild antics on display throughout here which makes for quite a thrilling time. The different changes to the storyline throughout here, from the universe established here that depicts the church as a corporation of demon hunters possessing all sorts of high-tech weaponry in the fight against demons and other supernatural creatures to the concept of the Easter Bunny as a creature of folklore who wants to keep the celebration going against those who want to abolish it, make for quite an appealing and disparate element that makes for quite a different tone throughout here. This universe allows for plenty of enjoyable exploitative elements as the two sides engage in their pitched battle here with tons of appropriate holiday-themed content, from explosive easter candies to bombs shaped like eggs to deadly flying puffs and much more throughout here that give this one a rather fun feel throughout here while adding alongside the rather fun action within here, from the opening slaughter of the demons in their special cult to the rampage in the hotel that features him going through the different groups of priests and associates there with them which features tons of gruesome, unique kills here using the holiday paraphernalia and the big series of brawls he engages in against the different hench- creatures sent against him which all gives this some solid action scenes throughout here. The big finale against the gigantic creature makes for a goofy and somewhat silly conclusion here which manages to fit in alongside the rest of the action here and makes for quite a cheesy film overall when added alongside the continuous nudity and goofy special effects. There are a few minor flaws here which are quite obvious to see throughout here in that there's just no way the budget here could've told the story accurately, leaving this one with some jarring special effects no matter how goofy or silly it is. The fact that the main creature is obviously a hand-held puppet, the minions are simple sugar-filled candy and most of the film is washed over cheap and obvious CGI manages to really make the film's shortcomings all the more open to the viewer. There's also the fact that there's little sense to the story here about what's going on as there are so many different plot points being featured here, and it really could've attempted a more linear form throughout here that makes sense which this one doesn't. These here are what hold this one down.

Rated: Continuous Full Nudity, Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, several sex scenes and drug use.
