     Have you ever made a personal observation and then continue to see a trend for months after the first initial observation. A few months back I reviewed Dustin Mills' film Easter Casket.  That was actually the second killer bunny flick that I reviewed with the first being Easter Bunny Kill Kill.  Not long after that I actually came across the Facebook page for the upcoming Easter Sunday film.  I was searching for Easter Casket on Facebook when I randomly found the pages for Bunnyman and this particular film here.  I ventured over to Youtube and watched a trailer for this one and fucking loved it.  I reached out to the page and the people behind the film was nice enough to mail me a screener all the way from Finland so thanks for that!
     This short follows a group of twenty-somethings as they travel late one evening down a dark country road when they strike a giant fury creature.  When the driver gets out of the car to see what he had hit he is attacked by the creature.  The animal is a man-sized bunny with a giant cock hellbent on killing and fucking (in no particular order) anything he can find.  The youths are then pitted in a life and death struggle as they fight for survival in the Finnish wilderness.
     In one of my reviews I mentioned that I lack a lot of experience  with films outside of the U.S. and Canada.  I have been watching a lot of Asian spatter flicks lately but as far as other films from other countries I have been lacking.  After watching this film I would have to say I am now open to watch any Finnish horror flicks I can find.  This movie caught me off guard and I fucking loved it.  This movie was sleazy, bloody, and fun as hell.  The acting is hard to judge due to the subtitles.  I'm sure it is on the same level as most indie shorts but for the English speaking viewer it may be difficult to judge.  The story is simple, raunchy, and very entertaining.  Simplicity, blood, and sex sells and the team behind this know that and made a very effective flick that will shock every member of the audience.  Finally, the special effects are on the bad side.  A guy in a bunny suite, a giant fake tallywhacker, and tons of fake blood are not the best visually but only add to the absurd story making one funny film.  Overall, this is a sleazy flick that is sure to entertain.  I highly recommend this one!
