A great nostalgic throwback to classic horror of the 80's.As we know, nearly every film owes something to a film that came before it. Often indie horror filmmakers will tip their hat to movies in a similar vein, signaling to the audience that they are aware of what they're paying tribute to. It's a inspired move to frame an entire film within a style of filmmaking that came before it. which is exactly what the filmmakers behind Bunyman have done. They prove that an entire film can be shot to look like a film from another decade, while still creating a fresh horror film for the new generation. This stands in start contrast to the populist grainy found footage aesthetics or stylistic remnants of torture porn that pervades current trends in the horror genre. Bunnyman owes a debt to the look and storytelling style of the late '70s and early '80s. The popularity of this style can be traced back to the emergence of collecting VHS through horror fan culture who's waning interest in the more mainstream offerings of horror, consisting of the torture porn and found footage type of films. To all you horror fans in your late 20s and early 30s, who have loved the genre since their childhood, and want to return to the visceral, shocking fear that led them to becoming horror fans in the first place, then I suggest you check out Bunnyman 2 !

Clearly superior to the original Bunnyman in every way, but retains what did work in the original film. The sequel beautifully amps up the atmosphere, with an almost painter like feel to the photography. The halting, jolting score is a stand out as well. And though the shock of the film's ending was probably ruined by anyone one who has seen the trailer, those coming to the film with a fresh perspective will certainly enjoy the film even more. The acting is all over the place, with the girls having rather shallow roles. However that may be the intent of the filmmakers, for the true antagonist of the film is Bunnyman and the redneck character Joe (whom also returns from the first film).

So, when we last left off our Bunnymans crazy adventures, we learned that he was going around slashing victims offscreen with a chainsaw, for reasons that were very unclear. Now, he's back, in a blood soaked sequel. Why, you may be wondering? That's what I would like to know. Why do we need this needless sequel? Less dialogue then the original Bunnyman, and TONS more blood and gore. This time, Bunnyman has upped his game, and is not only using the chainsaw, but has graduated to using knives and various weapons as well...and has become a little more energetic with the kills ( I'm talking multiple multiple MULTIPLE stab wounds, gosh, she's dead, take her pulse, d***head!) I almost did not even bother with this one, when I saw him get on a school bus with innocent children, and started his chainsaw. Now, what have all these kids done to you, that you decide to off them off, you sick demented bunny? Unfortunately, this movie isn't that much of an upgrade from the 2011 Bunnyman...except for the kills. And, let's face it, you're watching a slasher movie for one reason, and that's to see some gruesome, bloody kills, right? Try to bypass the ones that have already been done ( for example, a girl is beaten repeatedly over rocks in her camping sleeping bag, didn't we see this in Friday The 13th Part 7 ? ) For a slasher flick, it delivers the goods, and for that, I have rewarded it with an extra star then what I have given the original Bunnyman. Way to go! Kudos to No One Cares Productions( Heh heh HA! That's an actual company?) It's not given 4 stars because it is a good movie, that, I can reassure you, it is NOT. However, for its genre, it is an all right slasher movie. I can't guarantee I will watch Bunnyman 3 , which is due out here in a few months...I think I'm done with cuddly cute costume killer movies. They're all over done!

This is a horror movie through and through. Not sure what the other reviewer was smoking, but this is a horror film very much in the style of retro 80's horror film icons like Jason. To be more specific, this is a slasher film in the best possible way. We have a killer who is seemingly indestructible killing various people at his whim. What this title character differs in is that he has more of a personality then Jason. In fact, this entire film has a weird quirky sense of humor about it. As noted in the opening school bus scene. I would highly recommend this film to anyone who likes horror films that fall into the little bit of quirky side.
