ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
nopienosky There's a kind of "Twilight Zone" feeling to this whole enterprise. Sweet looking rabbits terrorize a sweet looking soldier, in what begins as a dark comedy but ends in blood drenched horror. The ending is dark and twisted - but still pretty funny. Looks like it was shot on a shoestring, but great downtown NYC locations. The opening and closing credits and the "Dead Bunnies" theme song are hilarious. I saw this at a film festival in New York, and the director mentioned that this was showing at midnight festivals in Germany. But I don't know if it's ever played in the U.S. This seems like the kind of film that would do well on a station like B Mania.
ichabodkraine This is one of those weird killer animal movies, along the lines of "Night of the Lepus" or "Willard." Innocent looking bunnies wreak havoc on a well meaning but bumbling soldier, who can't seem to get a break. Time has been good to this low-budgeter. The dark comedy still holds up well. But there are buckets of blood---definitely not for the squeamish!
houndfromthepound Bloody good! Or rather, bloody AND good. If rabbits-on-the-rampage are your cup of tea, this is the flick for you. A pacifist soldier accidentally runs over a bunny rabbit with his jeep. The guy feels so guilty, he goes AWOL, and returns home to New York, only to discover that rabbits--killer rabbits--are everywhere, watching, waiting and plotting their revenge. This low budgeter is ferociously funny and quite gruesome in a black comedy sort of way. The actors are spot-on, but it is the opening and closing credits (stop-motion pink bunnies dancing to a Spike Jones-type song) that raises this film from an "8" or a "9" to a total "10" !
