If you know anything about me, you will know I like watching low budget trashy horror films, for some of dumb fun and good to put on when I want to turn my brain off. and Tubi is the perfect platform to find them.

So I will be doing mini reviews, well more statements, about these films, much shorter than my other reviews, and my ratings for the films will generally be based on how much fun they are in a trashy dumb way, because not many of them are actually good in the objective sense.

The Bunnyman Massacre

When a maniac in a rabbit suit embarks on a killing spree, a storekeeper decides to take advantage of the situation and sells the victims as beef jerky in his store.

My Thoughts on The Bunnyman Massacre

Big ambitions, tiny results

The Bunnyman Massacre wants to be like Texas Chainsaw, and while the aesthetic is there – dusty roads, grim woods, loud chainsaws – the execution doesn’t back it up, as you could probably guess.

Strong opening, then a hard crash

The first few minutes are actually quite effective, but after that, the film slows to a crawl and never finds much momentum again.

No story to hold onto

At 90 minutes, shockingly little actually happens, where most of the runtime is just Joe and Bunnyman killing people or arguing – just scenes in a row with not much structure.

Characters you can’t root for

Joe is hateful, while Bunnyman is empty, and the victims make some truly baffling choices, even for a horror film.

Forced conflict everywhere

The survivors constantly argue, split up, or sabotage each other, and they behave like characters written to just drag out the runtime.

Wasted character potential

Hints about Bunnyman’s backstory, the voice in his head, and Joe’s jerky-making hobby could have been fairly interesting, but it all go nowhere.

Performances vary wildly

David Scott (Joe) is not too big, but the rest are fairly flat.

Violence is the main attraction

If you want gore, there’s plenty of it, and watching a giant bunny suit wield a chainsaw has a bizarre charm in a dumb way.

Pacing

The film has this habit of alternating between sudden bursts of violence and long stretches of nothing.

No emotional anchor

You just don’t care about anyone.

Camp without intention

Some moments are so unintentionally funny that it’s unclear whether the film actually knows it’s funny.

Works only for gore fans

If all you want is violence and a killer bunny suit, this is serviceable for that, and only that.

Final Thoughts on The Bunnyman Massacre

I didn’t actually know The Bunnyman Massacre was a sequel until after, and it has a 3rd release titled Bunnyman Vengeance.

But anyway, did have some dumb fun with it though, and for gore fans, you might get something out of it, as that’s the ony thing it has going for it.

But I won’t lie, it was funny in parts, and definitely had some dumb trashy vibes going for it.

Final Score for trashy fun: 5 out of 10

UP: Strong opening, plenty of gore, bizarre bunny suit spectacle
DOWN: No story, bad character logic, wasted ideas, uneven acting, pacing issues

A lover of cinema for over 35 years, I have watched many films from around the world in many different genres, yet I still normally always come back to trashy slasher horror films when in doubt. More

And yes, The Godfather 2 is better than The Godfather.
