Bunnyman
review by Mike Haberfelner

The Bunnyman (Joshua Lang) isn't exactly Mr. Nice Guy, as a matter of
fact his favourite pastime is killing people who cross his neck of the
woods, preferably young campers, and preferably with a chainsaw - but now
he's fallen in with a bad crowd, namely two drug pushers (Michael Shaun
Sandy, Omari Washington) who are about to re-appropriate an abandoned
church in the neighbourhood as a haunted house attraction to cover up
their meth lab - and Bunnyman is to be their main attraction. Why does he
remain with them then? Because he has taken a liking to their aide, the
mentally challenged but good natured Jacob (Pucci Tres). Plus Bunnyman's
new friends do have a liking for kidnapping and torturing young campers,
which meets very well with his own predilections. So in a way, everything
should be great - or at least as good as it gets - until opening night of
the haunted house, where Bunnyman brutally kills everyone who enters - and
that's something that can't go undiscovered for too long ... Now
I don't say that this third and probably final Bunnyman film
is exactly re-inventing the horror genre - but it successfully moves away
from the slasher formula without betraying the series' integrity in the
least: There's still plenty of gore, brutal murders, suspense and
everything, but this time around the film is told from the Bunnyman's
perspective, makes him almost the tragic and misunderstood hero of the
piece - until he once again starts killing of course. Now of course,
getting emotions out of an expressionless (and slightly silly) bunny mask
is all but easy, but director Carl Lindbergh shows plenty of cinematic
finesse to achieve just that and get the most out of his sparse locations
as well. Plus a psychedelic dream sequence is certainly not to be missed. Well
worth a watch, and at least if you're not a slasher purist it's quite
probably the best of the series!
