Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

arfdawg-1 Remington, a murderous grifter cons his way into a mother's heart, putting on a fatherly facade to her cherished son, Nicholas. But the second she leaves for work, a torrent of abuse rains upon the gentle boy. Remington heads out for some hookers and invites his dilettante-child molester-drug-dealer buddy over to abuse Nicholas. In the meantime, the only comfort the boy gets is in confiding with his new pet bunny. Debauchery is at hand but Nicholas is nowhere to be found but someone wearing the mask of the beloved holiday hopper shows up ready to deliver a blood-splattered night of unspeakable carnage.It's an OK movie directed like 70s slasher films.BUT these's a BIG problem with this movie! It's filmed SO DARK, you can barely see the killer scenes. I mean dark beyond belief. I don't know if that was intentional or just shoddy filmmaking, but it really takes points away from the film.

Michael_Elliott Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! (2006) *** (out of 4) Mentally challenged Nicholas (Ricardo Gray) loves the easter bunny but his poor mom (Charlotte Marie) keeps bringing home jerks. The latest one (Timothy Muskatell) is one of the worst and when mommy goes to work he starts to abuse the young boy but have no fear because a psycho with a bunny mask shows up. EASTER BUNNY, KILL! KILL! is 100% of a trashy "B" movie but it's a fun one that manages to be rude, crude and best of all entertaining. Now, just because I gave this three stars doesn't mean that everyone and their grandmother should run out and see it. The appeal of this film is going to be extremely limited so unless you're a fan of gory, dirty and rather obscene movies then it's best to stay away from this thing. I mean, after all there's a scene where the jerk boyfriend sells the retarded kid to a child molester in exchange for some cocaine! As you can see, the humor in this thing is extremely dark and the first fifty-minutes or so mainly focus on the dirty jokes. Director-writer Chad Ferrin spent some of his early career at Troma and it's easy to see their stamp all over this film. The jokes are all rather tasteless and especially the various scenes where the teenage boy is being abused. The gory/horror elements happen after most of the comedy and these scenes deliver as well. We're not talking the work of Tom Savini here but I thought the gore effects were good considering the budget and at least there was plenty of the red stuff to go around. For such a low-budget "B" movie I was really shocked to see how much of the stuff here was above average. This included the performances, the special effects and even the look of the film was quite professional. Best of all are a couple twists that happen in the last ten minutes, which I certainly won't ruin but I thought both of them worked extremely well. Again, EASTER BUNNY, KILL! KILL! isn't a film for sensitive viewers but those who like things dark should get a kick out of it.

ninjas-r-cool Everyone seems to like holiday horrors, yet to my knowledge there's never been one set at Easter. The closest thing would be debatable horror The Passion of the Christ which I believe took place mainly on Good Friday, though it's difficult to tell exactly due to the noticeable lack of giant rabbits handing out chocolate to kids. But fear not, because now we finally have ourselves a bonafide Easter slasher! I came across this movie by reading about Trent Haaga. He was great as Pickle-Fetish Spielberg Guy in Terror Firmer, wrote a mighty fine and original script for Deadgirl and serves as producer on this movie. One of the great things about low-budget horror is that if you follow the lines of separation you can discover new unknown talent quite easily, as long as you're willing to watch a few shockers in the process. This one was uneven, but still marks writer/director Chad Ferrin as a name to keep an eye on.Easter Bunny Kill Kill involves Mindy, a woman struggling to care for her 16 yr old son Nicholas, a mentally retarded boy who just LOVES Easter. Her boyfriend Remington seems like an alright guy but he's actually a violent criminal who abuses the boy behind her back. Verbal abuse that is, nothing involving penises. Jeez, mind out of the gutter, people! I'm trying to do a normal review here and all you care about is retard rape. Focus, 'kay? So the mum goes to work leaving the 'tard with Mr Definitely-not-a-rapist. The boyfriend calls up his creepy cripple mate to come over and take care of (ie. rape. Happy now?) the boy, while he hits the town for a cocaine and hooker binge. Fortunately for the boy, a mysterious figure arrives, wearing an Easter bunny mask, with a fondness for power tools and a dislike for those who abuse children.The movie main strengths are the unique premise and characters that steer clear of obvious slasher clichés. Added bonus here is the 2 main performances which are both well above the standard we've come to expect from this subgenre. Special mention should go to Ricardo Gray who plays Nicholas. Retarded characters can sometimes be tiresome to watch due to a PC need to portray them with nothing less than total respect. Here, Ricardo Gray acts and occasionally over-acts the part in a way that's likable and inspires sympathy, but also has a degree of humour. Let's face it, retards are sometimes pretty damn funny, so why not show that side of them? Nobody's going judge you for laughing because we all do it, and I'm sure it doesn't bother them. I must have missed that meeting where it was decided that laughter is a terrible thing.The downsides are a terrible ending and the fact that it's a little too talky. The kills are nice and brutal, but it takes quite a while to get to them. It does work as a nice throwback to the early 80's though. A simple clip compilation of this with a voice-over would give a trailer that wouldn't seem out of place in Grindhouse. The difference here being that, instead of rehashing tired clichés, this movie takes an older film style and presents it in a new way.So overall, it's not great but still worth a watch.

Jack Elswit Judging from its title alone, Easter Bunny, Kill!, Kill! would appear to be little more than a parody of seasonally themed slasher flicks. Miraculously, perhaps, Chad Ferrin's film is the rare gore-fest that can actually stand on its own merits as a prime cut of blood-drenched grind-house horror. Nicholas is a 16-year-old boy with the mental capacity of a 6-year-old. More than anything else, he believes that the Easter Bunny not only is real, but someday will rescue him from a life of poverty and abuse by the men in his mother's life.Her latest boyfriend is a sadistic grease ball, who, when mom's back is turned, torments the harmless child. If that weren't enough, in return for cocaine he'll use to lure hookers to his home, the jerk allows a truly perverted friend to "party" with the boy. Just describing that scenario makes my skin crawl. Never fear, though. Before the creep can get his grimy hands on Nicholas, the boy's Guardian Bunny arrives to save him from harm. That much could have been expected, I think. What follows is less predictable than one might expect.Although most people wouldn't be able to get past the title credits, fans of the genre should find something besides the gory killings to admire. We're not talking Psycho or The Shining here, though. Easter Bunny was made on a budget estimated to be in the neighborhood of $95,000 and it looks it. As for the marketing budget, I'm pretty sure the title on the DVD cover will sell itself. – Gary Dretzka
