Bunnyman Massacre: A Review

film reviews | movies | features | BRWC Bunnyman Massacre: A Review

Bunnyman Massacre is director Carl Lindbergh’s answer to his first fluffy-haired feature Bunnyman in 2011. The sequel, like its predecessor, is based loosely on the true story of an axe-wielding psychopath who terrorised the streets of Fairfax County, Virginia in the 70s. Only the film is better; it has chainsaws too.

If you like gore, poor acting and a formulated plot then this is the film for you. There are echoes of so many of the classic hillbilly horrors such as the most recent The Hills Have Eyes and Wrong Turn, particularly through the part of Joe (David Scott) the antagonist and feeder to the Bunnyman’s (Joshua Lang) psychotic tendencies. It’s true his part was two-dimensional and the dialogue was nothing to shout about, over all roles.

Yet while the acting was a little wooden and hyperbolised, there were some commendable gore efforts. Lindbergh really went to town in his second attempt, a favourable moment being a gruesome version of roly poly involving a power drill. Additionally, Bunnyman’s subhuman strength was put to good use as he swung a cocooned victim against a rock after the un-sexiest sex-in-a-tent scene you will ever see.



Although there’s not much point in referencing the plot due to its outrageous predictability, there are some likable characteristics to this film that protrude and conjure up some originality. The rate at which the female protagonists are murdered is admirable. With Bunnyman Massacre, Lindbergh gives you no time to even grow to like the character, let alone be yearning for their escape.

This film is nothing to shout about. But what it lacks in screams, it makes up for in cheap laughs. A good summer flick: cheap, bloody and absolutely silly.
